Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. Scrub the potatoes, pat them dry, and pierce them a few times with a fork.

  3. Rub them with olive oil and salt, then place them directly on the oven rack.

  4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until soft when pierced with a knife.

Step 2: Cook the Steak Bites

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter.

  2. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.

  3. Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Loaded Potatoes

  1. Cut a slit in the top of each baked potato and gently fluff the inside with a fork.

  2. Sprinkle shredded cheese inside while the potato is hot so it melts.

  3. Add a generous scoop of steak bites on top.

  4. Garnish with bacon, sour cream, and green onions.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Serve immediately and enjoy every loaded, flavorful bite!
