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!

Cheesy and full of bacon, this side dish casserole is amazing. It has all the flavors of a loaded potato, just in casserole form. You can serve this at a cookout alongside steaks and burgers.

Steps:
- Bake the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. Drizzle olive oil over each potato and then season with Montreal Steak Seasoning (or salt & pepper). *Montreal Steak Seasoning is very easy to find at most any grocery store. We use it for just about everything and anything and it's ideal to season potato skins. Place the potatoes on either a cast-iron skillet (my preference) or on a baking sheet. Do NOT wrap the potatoes in foil, or you won't get the crispy potatoes skins that we love so much. Poke each potato, a few times, with the tines of a fork. Bake for about 45 minutes to an hour (until knife slides easily in and out). Set the baked potatoes aside to cool enough to handle. Make the casserole: Cut each potato in half, then quarters, then into bite-sized chunks. Don't worry about perfectionism. (Leave the skins on, as they are delicious!) Whisk the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl, then add to the cut-up potatoes. Be sure to reserve some of the cheese, and 1/4 cup of the green onion and about 1/2 cup of the bacon. Add the remaining ingredients and gently fold to combine. Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray and evenly distribute the baked potato mixture. Sprinkle the reserved bacon and cheddar cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake for 10 additional minutes until the cheese is completely melted and the casserole is nice and bubbly. Watch your guests go back for seconds!

TWICE BAKED MINI POTATO DAUPHINOISE - POTATO GRATIN MUFFINS
Exactly as the title says, these are cooked in a muffin or Yorkshire pudding tin! They are a brilliant way to use up leftover potatoes & are so good that it's worth baking or boiling up some potatoes specially!! I use these all the time in our Chambres d'Hotes - it's easy to work out the portions and they freeze beautifully. There is also NO burnt mess in your gratin dishes! That's not to say I never make traditional Gratin Dauphinoise, because I do - but these are a great standby, use up leftover potatoes and look very elegant when served!

Steps:
- You will need a deep 12 hole Muffin tin or 2 X 4 hole Yorkshire pudding tins.
- Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F or Gas Mark 6.
- Using 1 ounce of the butter, grease the muffin or Yorkshire pudding tins well. You can line the base with greaseproof baking paper for ease of removal if you wish.
- Arrange the potatoes in the tin/s holes in layers - seasoning every other layer or so with the crushed garlic, salt & pepper.
- Carry on until all the potatoes are used up.
- Stir the creme fraiche with a wooden spoon to thin it down a bit - and then place a spoon on top of each mini potato gratin.
- Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and then top each gratin with flecks of the remaining butter.
- Grate some nutmeg on top and bake in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes; it depends on which tin you are using - a muffin tin will take less time to bake than a Yorkshire Pudding tin as the holes are smaller!
- Serve with all types of daubes, casseroles, stews, roast dinners OR as a light lunch with crisp green salad & crusty French bread!
- To freeze:.
- Freeze in the tin after assembling them and when frozen, remove and place into zip-lock bags or plastic containers.(It is best to line the base with greasproof paper if you intend to freeze them - they are easier to remove from the tin!).
- Defrost and bake on a large greased and/or lined baking tray - temperature as before; or place into muffin/Yorkshire pudding tins to help keep their shape. I never need to do this - please see my photos,it's up to you!

- Scoop out the potato flesh carefully: Use a spoon to scoop out the potato flesh, being careful not to tear the skin.
- Mash the potato flesh until it is smooth: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potato flesh until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add your favorite toppings: You can add any number of toppings to your twice-baked potatoes, such as cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, or salsa.
- Bake the potatoes until they are heated through: Bake the potatoes until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
