When I traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico last year for a business trip, we ate at a steak restaurant that served very similar baked potatoes with the steak, along with charro beans. To my surprise, I found this similar recipe in one of my cookbooks. I was excited to be able to re-create this recipe at home!

6 large baking potatoes
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sour cream
shredded longhorn cheese
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bake potatoes until done.

Tips for Perfect Mexican Baked Potatoes:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use medium-sized russet potatoes that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: Before baking, scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the potatoes: Use a fork to prick the potatoes all over. This helps the steam to escape and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
  • Rub the potatoes with oil: Rubbing the potatoes with oil helps them to crisp up and brown nicely in the oven.
  • Season the potatoes: Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before baking.
  • Bake the potatoes until tender: Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Once the potatoes are baked, top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, salsa, or guacamole.
