Cooking method: Oven
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 65 minutes
Servings: 4

## Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 0.75 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.333 cup dill pickles
- 2 tbsp burger sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder

## Cooking instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Scrub the potatoes, pierce each several times with a fork, and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake until fork-tender, 45 to 50 minutes. (about 50 min) (425°F)
2. Let the potatoes cool for 5 minutes, then halve them lengthwise. Scoop out the centers, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Reserve the potato flesh for another use. (about 5 min)
3. Brush the potato shells with olive oil and season with half the salt. Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Turn them cut-side up and bake 5 minutes more, until crisp. (about 15 min) (425°F)
4. While the shells crisp, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Break it into small crumbles and cook until browned and the center reaches 160°F. (about 8 min) (160°F)
5. Fill the crisp shells with the cooked beef, cheddar, and pickles. Return them to the oven and bake 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted. (about 7 min) (425°F)
6. Drizzle the warm potato skins with burger sauce and serve immediately.
