Ingredients
Scale
- 4 russet potatoes (7–9 oz each)
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 2–3 cups sliced smoked corned beef, warmed
- 1/2 lb thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 1/2 green cabbage, diced
- 3 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp chili sauce
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions
- 1 tbsp dill pickle relish
- 1 tbsp prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp stone-ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub potatoes and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub with oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45‑55 minutes, or until tender.
- While potatoes bake, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel‑lined plate. In the same skillet, sauté onion and cabbage until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
- Remove potatoes from the oven. Let cool slightly, then halve lengthwise. Scoop out a generous portion of flesh, leaving about 1/4‑inch of potato attached to the skin. Brush the interior with warm water.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh with smoked corned beef, bacon, sautéed onion‑cabbage mixture, parsley, oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Spoon the filling back into the potato shells, then top each with shredded Swiss cheese.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 8‑10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- While cheese melts, whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce, dill pickle relish, prepared horseradish, stone‑ground mustard, and dried parsley to create a tangy sauce. Drizzle over each potato.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave. This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad.
