Idaho Tacos

My husband liked it. I thought it was okay but better without the meat. My 6 year old liked it. My 8 yr. old only ate the potato with butter and cheese and my 10 yr. old only liked the meat and cheese.

I baked the potatoes in the microwave since I was short of time. While the meat was cooking I scooped out the potato and mixed with butter and then put back in the skins. I browned the meat with little garlic powder and chopped onion before adding the taco seasoning. My husband remarked numerous times how good it was.

I have been making this recipe for years. My family loves it.... I even had the school lunch try it when i was subbing there. Now its on their menu......

better in taco shells. a little crunch brings excitement!

great recipe really easy to make!

Because I was taking this to my small group at another's house, I had to adapt it so it was ready to serve "as is" when I arrived. I wound up turning it into a twice baked, stuffed potato. After baking the potatoes as directed, I scooped out the potato, leaving about 1/4 inch in the skins to keep them from collapsing. I mashed the potato with the sour cream, 1/2 c. of the cheese and about 3T of butter. I browned the meat with the taco seasoning and the onions, blended this with the potato mixture, then stuffed it into the potato skins. I topped the potatoes with the remaining cheese,then baked at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Everyone commented positively on the spices and the texture. I am looking forward to making this as directed and offering a variety of toppings.

Too good to put into words. So much easier than messing with taco shells (that I keep breaking). Whole family loved it!

i plan on making tacos this week but i bought extrameat and seasoning so i cant wait to make this with the left over meat and toppings instead of just having tacos/taco salad again later in the week

I some what followed the recipe. I used the idea of it anyway. Instead of beef, I used ground turkey and instead of Taco Bell Seasoning, I used my brand. Very tasty! Even my picky eater liked it. Will make again in the future. It was very easy as well. Nothing better for a quick meal before taking the kids to practice because I just added a side salad and YUM!

This was SO easy to make! I cheated & cooked the potatoes in the microwave. They still came out great tasting. My son loved that he could add his own toppings to the potatoes like he does with tacos. If you buy larger potatoes, you only need one per person. I'd definately make these taco taters again.
