Step-by-step overview
Making Loaded Baked Potato Steak Bites is a straightforward process that allows you to enjoy a hearty meal without spending hours in the kitchen. First, you’ll bake the potatoes until they’re perfectly fluffy. While that’s happening, simply season and cook your steak bites until they’re beautifully browned. The final touch is to fluff up the insides of the potatoes, pile on the steak, and finish it off with a zing of lemon and parsley. It’s as simple as that!
What you’ll need
To create these mouthwatering Loaded Baked Potato Steak Bites, gather the following ingredients:
- 4 big russet potatoes, cleaned and patted dry
- 1.5 tablespoons sea salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 wedges lemon, squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
Feel free to get creative! If you don’t have russet potatoes, you can try Yukon golds for a creamier texture. And if you’re out of avocado oil, olive oil works just as well for cooking the steak.
