Ingredients

  • 2 whole Russet Potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 package (approximately 1 Oz. Size) McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Crispy Cooked French Fries (or More As Desired)
  • 1 cup White Cheese Curds
  • 1 Tablespoon Scallions, Sliced (optional)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Method

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400 F. Poke the top of each potato with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
  • Cook in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and place potatoes on a plate to let them cool for about 15 minutes.
  • Once your potatoes are cooled, use a sharp bread knife and cut them in half lengthwise.
  • With a small spoon, carefully scoop out about 70 percent of the potato flesh.
  • You still want some potato in your boat.
  • Get your broiler heated to high.
  • Brush the melted butter on the inside and outside of each potato skin and place them back onto the baking sheet.
  • Season the inside of each skin with salt and pepper.
  • Place them under the broiler for 8-10 minutes until the insides get a bit crispy from the melted butter.
  • During this time, make your brown gravy by emptying the package into a small saucepan with the water.
  • Mix and bring to a simmer.
  • Once the potato skins are nice and crispy on the exterior, remove from the oven and add a few crispy french fries into the bottom of each potato.
  • Yes, more potato in a potato.
  • Top with cheese curds, and pour on the hot brown gravy.
  • Shower with sliced scallions if you desire.
