Ingredients
- 1 (10- to 12-ounce) Russet potato
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1/2 cup canned refried pinto beans, warm
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons prepared salsa
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Prick potato all over with a fork and arrange on a baking sheet.
Bake until just tender, about 1 hour; set aside until cool enough to handle.
Meanwhile, preheat broiler.
Cut open potato and scoop about 1/2 cup of the cooked flesh into a medium bowl.
Add sour cream, beans, salt and cumin and mash with a fork to combine.
Use bean mixture to refill potato, then top with cheese and return to baking sheet or place in a small baking dish.
Broil until cheese is melted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Top with salsa and green onions and serve.
