Every single bite is bursting with flavor. If you can manage to stop at just one, kudos to you! But from my experience, none of my taste testers could resist having seconds. Now, let’s start cooking! 🥔🍖🍴

TO MAKE POT ROAST TWICE BAKED POTATO, YOU WILL NEED:

Chuck Roast: When selecting chuck roast, look for marbling. Marbling is the fat running through the meat, and it indicates tenderness and flavor. Smaller cuts are preferable as they cook faster and are easier to handle.

Potatoes: For baking, you can choose any large baking potatoes.

Beef Broth: Look for a quality beef broth for rich flavor.

Cream Cheese: Choose cream cheese at room temperature for easy blending.

Sour Cream: Similarly, have sour cream at room temperature for a smooth filling.

Parsley: Fresh parsley is great for garnish and adds a touch of freshness to the dish.

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS POT ROAST TWICE BAKED POTATO?

Pot roast: Bring the pot roast to room temperature, sear it in a Dutch oven, then slow-roast in a 300°F oven for about 3 hours until fork-tender. Use the Dutch oven juices for the gravy. Additional time needed for larger roasts.

Gravy: Make the gravy by combining beef broth and cornstarch, add it to roast juices, thicken, add salt, reserve half a cup, and shred pot roast into the gravy. Double cornstarch and beef broth for extra gravy if needed.

Potato “bowls”: make the creamy filling, fill the potatoes with filling, add shredded pot roast and gravy, and bake until heated through. Enjoy for freshly made Pot Roast Twice Baked Potato!

RECIPE NOTES AND HELPFUL TIPS:

Tender Pot Roast: Cook the pot roast until it’s tender and easy to shred. This will ensure the meat is flavorful and not tough in your twice-baked potatoes.

Use Russet Potatoes: Choose russet potatoes as they have a high starch content, resulting in a fluffy and creamy texture for the filling.

Savory Seasonings: Season the potato filling with your favorite savory seasonings, such as garlic, rosemary, thyme, or chives, to complement the pot roast.

Mix Ingredients Thoroughly: Make sure to thoroughly mix the shredded pot roast, gravy, and any additional ingredients into the potato filling for an even distribution of flavors.

Generous Toppings: Don’t be shy with toppings! Load up your twice baked potatoes with cheese, green onions, or crispy bacon for extra deliciousness.

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • >>>POTATOES:
  • 6 large potatoes, for baking
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • >>>GRAVY:
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • >>>FILLING:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 oz sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • parsley, for garnish

Instructions

ROAST

Step 1: Take the roast out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking and generously salt and pepper it.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 300°F
Step 3: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Then add olive oil.
Step 4: Add butter to the pot. Once melted, place the roast in the pan and sear it for about a minute on both sides until it is brown all over.
Step 5: Cover and transfer roast to oven. Cook about 3 hours. You want the meat to be cooked through and to tear easily with a fork. CHECK TIME BASED ON ROAST SIZE.
Step 6: Remove the roast and set on a plate (tented to keep warm)

HOMEMADE GRAVY

Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix together the beef broth and cornstarch. Pour the mixture in the pan juices and simmer, stirring occasionally. The liquid will thicken after a few minutes. Add salt.
Step 2: Reserve ½ cup of gravy and set aside.
Step 3: Add the roast back to the pan and shred into the gravy. Set aside.

POTATOES

Step 1: Increase oven heat to 350° F.
Step 2: Using a fork, prick the potatoes a few times on each side to create a heat vent. Coat each potato with canola oil and salt and bake for 1 hour. Potatoes should be fork-tender when done.
Step 3: Using a sharp knife, slice the top off (horizontally) of each potato.
Step 4: Using a spoon, remove the center of the potato and place into a large mixing bowl. Be very careful not to tear the potato skin. Lay the hollowed-out potato shells on a baking sheet.
Step 5: To the bowl of potatoes, add the reserved gravy, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and salt and mash together until creamy.
Step 6: Fill the hollowed-out potato skins with the filling, and create a well in the filling. Fill and top with shredded pot roast and gravy.
Step 7: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potato is warmed through.
