Main Ingredient:
potatoes
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat). Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, dry them, prick several times with a fork, and place on a baking tray.
- Bake the potatoes for about 45 minutes, until the skin is firm and slightly wrinkled and the inside is soft when pierced with a knife.
- While the potatoes are baking, peel the onion and dice it finely; finely chop the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onion, and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and slightly translucent, without browning too much.
- Add the garlic and fry for about 30 seconds, until it becomes very fragrant.
- Add the ground beef, break it up with a spatula, and fry for 6–8 minutes until it turns completely brown with no raw bits remaining.
- Add the paprika, cumin, chili, salt, and pepper, stir, and fry for 1 more minute to warm up the spices.
- Add the canned tomatoes and drained beans, stir, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook over low heat for 10–15 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Grate the yellow cheese on a coarse grater and finely chop the chives.
- When the potatoes are soft, remove them from the oven, cut a cross lengthwise on each one without cutting all the way through, and gently squeeze the sides so the center opens up.
- Spoon a portion of hot chili into each potato, sprinkle with grated cheese, and return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts.
- Serve the potatoes with a dollop of sour cream on top and sprinkled with chives.

Nadziewane ziemniaki najlepiej smakują świeżo, ale możesz je przechować w lodówce do 2 dni i podgrzać w piekarniku pod przykryciem. Farsz chili możesz przygotować osobno wcześniej i przechowywać do 3 dni, a ziemniaki upiec na świeżo.
