Gluten-Free, Casein-Free Taco Potatoes is a sure-fire kid pleaser. You can even let them eat it with their hands! I love how easy it is and it is a great twist on the traditional baked potato or taco night. Be sure to pare it with this Homemade Guacamole recipe too!
I often make these in my crockpot when I am going to be out for several hours. When I come home I am ready to make dinner in 15 – 20 minutes!
Some of my favorites potatoes include Sour Cream & Chive Baked Potato, Easy Cheesey Twice Baked Potatoes and Cheeseburger Stuffed Baked Potato.

Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp ghee, melted
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp granulated onion
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 oz. shredded Daiya cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash potatoes, poke with fork. Bake potatoes for at least 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove potatoes to cool.
- Change oven temperature to 475 degrees.
- Cut each potato lengthwise into halves. Scoop out inside of potatoes, but leave about ¼-inch layer of potato in shell. Save insides of potatoes to make mashed potatoes, if desired.
- Brush insides of potato shells with melted ghee. Place shells, cut sides up, on ungreased baking sheet. Bake uncovered until edges are brown, 15-20 minutes.
- While potatoes are baking - brown ground beef in a skillet. Add cumin, granulated onion, and cayenne pepper about halfway through browning process.
- After removing potato shells from oven, spoon browned, seasoned beef into shells and sprinkle tops with cheese.
- Return potatoes to oven and heat just until melted. Remove and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
