Cheesy Taco Potatoes are hearty baked Russet potatoes piled high with seasoned taco meat, melty cheddar, and all your favorite fresh taco toppings for a full, satisfying meal in one potato. They give you all the comfort of a loaded baked potato and all the bold flavor of taco night in a single, easy dinner.
Why I love this recipe
This recipe is weeknight‑friendly but still feels fun and customizable, just like a baked potato bar crossed with a taco bar. You bake the potatoes, brown some beef with taco seasoning, then let everyone build their own cheesy, fully loaded potato at the table.

- Uses simple, affordable ingredients like ground beef, potatoes, and shredded cheese.
- Easy to scale up for family dinners, game days, or casual gatherings.
- Naturally gluten‑friendly if you use gluten‑free taco seasoning.
