Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the Filling
- 1 cup cooked corned beef, chopped
- ¾ cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish
- Extra Thousand Island dressing
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bake the Potatoes – Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the potatoes with olive oil and salt, then place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- Prepare the Filling – While the potatoes bake, chop the corned beef and drain the sauerkraut well. In a bowl, combine them with Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, butter, and black pepper.
- Hollow Out the Potatoes – Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice off the tops and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin shell.
- Mix and Stuff – Mash the scooped-out potato with the filling mixture until well combined. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.
- Bake Again – Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve – Drizzle with extra Thousand Island dressing and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispy skins, bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack.
Make sure to drain the sauerkraut well to prevent excess moisture.
To reheat, bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or microwave for 2 minutes.
Swap Swiss cheese for Gruyère or cheddar for a different flavor twist.
