SHEPHERD'S PIE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake 6-8 potatoes in the oven for 1 hour at 425°. See post above for my favorite way to bake them. Or just scrub the potatoes and wrap up in tin foil (to keep the skin soft), poke some holes in it and let it bake. You can also make baked potatoes in the instant pot or the slow cooker. See post above for links to great recipes.

SHEPHERD'S PIE TWICE-BAKED POTATO RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Set one rack at the top and one rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Poke a few times on each side with a fork, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt.
• Bake the potatoes on the center rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until easily pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
• While potatoes are cooking, make the beef filling: Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
• Push the onion mixture to the edges of the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the center of the pan and break up with a spatula. Let the meat brown, undisturbed, for 2-3 minutes, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper and stir to incorporate.
• When the beef is mostly cooked through but still slightly pink, add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine, continuing to break up the beef with the spatula.
• Add the beef stock, carrots, and peas. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, plus more to taste. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Being careful not to tear the skin, scoop out most of the flesh and transfer to a large bowl. Set the potato skins aside.
• Add the melted butter, heavy cream, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the pepper to the bowl with the potato flesh. With an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until combined, then increase the speed to high and mix until potatoes are light and fluffy. Add the cheddar cheese and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
• Scoop about ¼ cup (60 G) of the beef filling into each potato skin. Top with about ¼ cup of the mashed potatoes. Spread the potatoes over the beef filling so it's almost entirely covered. Using a fork, create ridges in the potatoes by dragging the fork from top to bottom.
• Bake the potatoes on the center rack for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese in the potatoes starts melt and you hear sizzling coming from the potatoes when you open the oven door.
• Transfer the potatoes to the top rack and broil on high for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are brown and crispy, keeping a close eye to ensure they do not burn.
• Top the potatoes with the chives and serve warm
• Enjoy!

LOADED BAKED POTATO SLAB PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add 1/3 of the cubed butter, and pulse until combined. Add the remaining butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the vinegar, then gradually add 1/4 cup ice water, pulsing until evenly combined. Squeeze the dough between your fingers; if it doesn't hold its shape, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water. Turn the dough out onto a flour-dusted surface, and press into a ball. Break off 1/3 of the dough and form into a ball; form the remaining piece into a second ball. Wrap both in plastic and flatten into 1-inch-thick squares. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, and slice 1/4 inch thick on a mandoline or with a sharp knife. Cook the bacon in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon, and let drain on a paper towel. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Cook the onions in the pot, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom, until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour; when it coats the onions, gradually whisk in the half-and-half. Add the potatoes and salt, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened and the potatoes are softened just enough to pierce with a fork but offer some resistance, about 10 minutes. (They will continue to cook in the oven.) Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the sour cream. Season with 1 teaspoon more salt and several grinds of pepper. Set aside to cool while you prepare the crust.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 425 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• To assemble: Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Roll the larger piece of dough into a 12-inch square about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish, pressing it into the corners as necessary. (Leave any overhang for pressing together with the top crust later.) Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the dough. Top with the potato mixture, and shake the pan to distribute evenly. Sprinkle the crispy bacon on top.
• Roll the remaining dough to 1/8 inch thick, and place it on top of the pie. Press it together with the overhanging bottom crust with your fingers to seal the edges, and trim to 1 inch around the dish. Roll the dough under, and press it into the top of the dish; crimp the edges with your fingers, or press with a fork. Cut slits into the top of the dough to allow steam to escape.
• Bake the pie on a rimmed baking sheet on the center rack for 30 minutes, then rotate the pie to allow even browning. Continue to bake until the dough is nicely browned, especially on the bottom and sides, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 30 to 40 minutes more. Let cool for 25 minutes before cutting.

SHEPHERD'S PIE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rotate and cook another 5 minutes. Test with a knife to make sure they're done.
• Cut the tops off the potatoes and scoop the insides into a bowl, leaving a ¼-inch wall around the skin.
• Add the milk, butter and salt to the bowl of potato and mash until smooth. If you'll be piping the potatoes, place them into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and reserve for later.
• In a sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
• Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through.
• Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir to combine. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and frozen veggies to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and become glossy. Remove from the heat.
• Fill each potato evenly with the beef mixture. Pipe the mashed potatoes over the filling, covering the meat mixture completely. (You might not have to use all of the potatoes.).
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops of the potatoes start to brown.
• In step 2, you don't have to microwave the potatoes if you don't want to- just bake them instead! Rub olive oil, salt and pepper all over the cleaned potatoes. Place potatoes directly on an oven rack and bake at 425 degree Fahrenheit for 40 to 50 minutes until done.
