A comforting and indulgent loaded baked potato topped with smoky BBQ brisket, tangy BBQ sauce, creamy sour cream, sharp cheddar, and fresh green onions. Perfect for a quick dinner or game day treat.

Ingredients

  • Large Russet Potatoes (6-8 ounces or 170-225 grams each)
  • BBQ Brisket (2 cups or 300 grams, shredded)
  • BBQ Sauce (½ cup or 120 ml)
  • Sour Cream (½ cup or 120 ml)
  • Cheddar Cheese (1 cup or 100 grams, shredded)
  • Green Onions (2-3 stalks, thinly sliced)
  • Butter (2 tablespoons or 28 grams)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Optional Extras: Jalapeños, crispy bacon bits, smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pat dry. Using a fork, poke several holes all over each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
  3. Rub the potato skins lightly with butter and sprinkle with salt.
  4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45–60 minutes until skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.
  5. While the potatoes bake, shred your cooked brisket into bite-sized pieces. Toss it in a mixing bowl with about ½ cup (120 ml) of BBQ sauce until well coated.
  6. Shred the cheddar cheese and thinly slice green onions. Prepare any optional extras like jalapeños or bacon.
  7. When the potatoes are done, carefully slice each one lengthwise down the center, creating a pocket. Use a fork to fluff the inside gently, mixing the flesh a bit to loosen it up.
  8. Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ brisket over each potato. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top while the brisket is still warm, letting it melt slightly.
  9. Add a dollop of sour cream, then finish with green onions and any optional extras.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For crispy skins, bake potatoes uncovered and rub with butter and salt before baking. Use leftover brisket for convenience. Sour cream can be swapped with Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternatives. Adjust baking time based on potato size. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven to maintain texture.
