Instructions for Loaded Baked Potato with Steak Bites:
1. Bake the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and rub them with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
2. Cook the steak bites: While the potatoes bake, season the steak bites with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from heat.
3. Prepare the potatoes: Once baked, slice each potato open and fluff the insides with a fork. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese inside the potatoes, allowing it to melt.
4. Add toppings: Top each potato with the cooked steak bites, a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Pro Tip: Drizzle garlic butter over the steak bites for extra flavor, or sprinkle smoked paprika on the potatoes for a smoky kick.
