Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pan
  • Piping bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large baked potatoes
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • oil for frying
  • 1/3 lb ground beef
  • 1 diced onion
  • 1/8 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/3 cup diced carrots

Instructions
 

  • Remove the top quarter of the baked potatoes and scoop out the potato, leaving a little bit at the sides so the potatoes retain their shape and the skin isn't damaged.
  • In a mixing bowl, add butter, salt and milk to the scooped out potato flesh and mash with a fork until you achieve a smooth consistency. Then spoon the mashed-potato mixture into a piping bag.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and cook the ground beef and onion until browned. Add flour, stir until absorbed and then add the beef broth. Then add the peas and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the sauce has reduced.
  • Spoon the beef mixture into the scooped out potato skins and pipe a generous layer of mashed potato over the top in a ribbon-like pattern. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
