Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 lb cooked brisket, shredded
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped pickles
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup sour cream
Optional Add-Ins & Swaps
- Add crumbled bacon or chopped jalapeños for heat
- Swap cheddar for smoked gouda or pepper jack
- Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor profile
- Drizzle with ranch dressing or chipotle mayo for a finishing touch
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes, poke several holes in each with a fork, and place on a baking sheet. - Bake the potatoes
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender and the skin is crisp. - Prep the brisket
While the potatoes bake, warm the shredded brisket and mix with BBQ sauce in a bowl. Set aside. - Scoop and mash
Once the potatoes are done, let cool slightly. Cut each in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato inside the skins. - Mix the filling
Mash the potato with a fork. Stir in cheddar cheese, red onion, pickles, diced tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. - Stuff the skins
Spoon the mashed mixture back into the potato shells. Top with the BBQ brisket mixture. - Bake again
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden and bubbly. - Finish and serve
Remove from oven and top with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot!
Tips for Success
- Use large russet potatoes—they’re sturdy with a fluffy interior
- Don’t over-mash; leave some texture in the filling
- Wrap brisket in foil when reheating to keep it juicy
- Prep ahead by baking the potatoes and mixing the filling early—just assemble and bake when ready

- Crockpot Nacho Dip for an indulgent side
- Sheet Pan Quesadillas to feed a crowd
- Blueberry Lemonade to cool the smoky heat
