Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Protein
- 1 pound steak, cubed
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables & Toppings
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Dairy
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- ½ cup sour cream
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes.
- Bake Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cook Steak: While the potatoes bake, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed steak and cook until browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- Cook Shrimp and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and mushrooms are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Once the potatoes are baked and tender, carefully slice each potato open lengthwise. Fluff the inside using a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste for added flavor.
- Assemble Loaded Potatoes: Top each fluffed potato with cooked steak, shrimp, and mushrooms. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top, followed by a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each loaded potato with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy a hearty, comforting meal.
Notes
- For even cooking, choose potatoes of similar size.
- Use high-quality steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye for best flavor.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese.
- You can prepare toppings ahead of time and reheat before assembling.
- Leftover loaded potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven.
