The key to hollowing the potatoes is do it while they're hot. My potatoes were tiny. They had pretty thin skins. I wrapped them in tin foil and baked them at 350 for an hour. I let them rest for only a few minutes....wearing hot pad gloves i unwrapped them and cut all the tops off. Then holding the potatoes in the hand that had a hot pad, i hollowed it out with a small melon baller. I had 12 to do so by the time i got to the 12th it was more difficult because they started cooling. When they're hot though...they're super easy to hollow out. I used taco seasoning in the meat...super delicious... and served with sour cream.

I needed an idea for dinner and found this one. Thought that I would try it and me and my parents all loved it and will use it again. Just takes a long time to cook, but I can deal with this delicious dish!

Yummy! Be sure to use russets; their skins are the thickest. I cut mine in half and scoop out the flesh. I also saute my onions separately and I use about 1/2 cup. I add Italian seasoning to the beef, up the amount of sour cream and shees and this is a great meal!

This was good but next time I would add some taco seasoning to give it a little more taste.

It tastes okay, not that big of a hit with my husband or myself. Scooping out the potatoes without them falling part is difficult.

I gave it a four stars only because this was a rush dinner and I didn't have sour cream and a few other things on hand. My potatoes fell apart when I scooped out the insides, but the potatoes here have very thin skins. I thought it was good. Tasted sort like a shepherds pie in a baked potato. Next time I'll do exactly as the recipe says and see how the flavor turns out. Very filling!
