Upgrade your baked potato by stuffing it with a savory cottage pie filling
In short: Learn how to transform the classic loaded baked potato into a hearty meal. This video demonstrates a creative method for combining two comfort food staples, offering a simplified cottage pie recipe and tips for achieving the perfect potato texture for busy weeknights.
The dish reimagines the traditional cottage pie—which uses beef, as opposed to shepherd's pie, which uses lamb or mutton—by placing the savory filling inside crispy potato skins. The process involves baking three large potatoes at 220ºC (425ºF) until soft, then scooping out the centers to mash with ingredients like cream, butter, and horseradish.
The filling is prepared by browning ground beef with onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms, then simmering the mixture with 500mL of beef stock, 30mL of Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Marmite, and thyme. Once thickened, the beef is spooned into the crisped skins, topped with the mashed potato, and baked for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
