Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and scrub the baking potatoes under cold water. Pierce each potato several times with a fork, rub with canola oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 1 hour, rotating halfway through. Allow to cool slightly after baking.
Cooking the Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion for 7-10 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in ketchup, yellow mustard, hamburger seasoning, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Assembling Potatoes
- Slice off the tops of the cooled baked potatoes and scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a sturdy shell.
- Mix potato flesh with heavy whipping cream, butter, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and half the cheddar cheese until smooth.
- Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, top with the beef mixture, and sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
- Optional: Broil on high for 1-2 minutes for a crispy top.
- Garnish with diced pickles and fresh tomatoes before serving.

Notes
Allow baked potatoes to cool slightly before handling. Be gentle when hollowing them out to keep the skins intact.
