Why You’ll Love These Corned Beef Stuffed Potatoes
Of course we’re going to be making our tender Corned Beef Recipe on St. Patrick’s Day! We make sure to cook a big enough piece so that we have leftovers for recipes like these Corned Beef Stuffed Potatoes!
- Easy To Make: All you need are 4 ingredients, and the chives are optional! We like to buy the steam-in-bag potatoes that you can cook right in the microwave.
- Transform Leftovers: Instead of just heating up corned beef and making another plate, try making a whole new leftover recipe like these potatoes.
- Versatile: These cheesy stuffed potatoes can be enjoyed as appetizers, a fun dinner with a side of french fries or just an afternoon snack.
Ingredients You’ll Need
If you want to make these mini stuffed potatoes and you don’t have leftover corned beef, just head to the deli counter and grab it there.
- Cooked Corned Beef: A great way to use leftover corned beef, or head to your deli counter and get some sliced corned beef that you can either dice up or shred.
- Baby Red Potatoes: We love to buy the potatoes that you can microwave right in the bag to make this recipe super easy! Yellow potatoes will work just fine, too.
- Cheddar Cheese: A sharp Irish cheddar is perfect for topping these stuffed potatoes but any cheddar cheese that you like will work.
- Chives: Just a pop of color and a mild onion flavor on top of the stuffed potatoes, totally optional but we love the pop of flavor and color.
How To Make
This is a super easy leftover recipe! Just a few steps, with some help from the store and you’ll be on your way to a tasty and delicious snack or appetizer. For complete instructions, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Cook The Potatoes: As we mentioned, we love the ease of buying potatoes that steam right in the bag. If you don’t have that available, you can boil or bake the potatoes until they are fork tender.
- Slice and Scoop: Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, slice them in half lengthwise and then scoop out a little of the flesh so that there’s room to hold the corned beef. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- Fill and Bake: Fill the potato halves with diced or shredded corned beef and then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes until the cheese on top is melted. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.
What If I Don’t Have Leftover Corned Beef?
No worries! As we mentioned before, just head to the deli counter and ask for 3/4 of a pound of corned beef. You can get it sliced thicker like we did here if you want to dice the corned beef, or just a thinner slice that you can chop up or shred to fill the potatoes.
Variations
Of course these Stuffed Corned Beef Potatoes were born out of a leftover corned beef idea, but there’s lots more that you can stuff into these potatoes.
- Cooked and crumbled ground beef: seasoned with garlic powder, salt and pepper and then topped with American or cheddar cheese. Add pickles to the top for a cheeseburger feel.
- Cooked and crumbled Italian Sausage: Season with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper and then top with mozzarella cheese. Add a dollop of marinara sauce on top.
- Shredded Chicken: Leftover chicken would also be great, season how you like and mix with barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce or a buffalo wing sauce and top with your cheese of choice.
How Long Does Leftover Corned Beef Last In The Fridge?
Use up leftover corned beef within 3-4 days. Here’s where a lot of people get confused, just because you have now transformed your leftovers into these Corned Beef Stuffed Potatoes, it doesn’t give you more time to eat them.
If you make these potatoes on day 2 of your leftover corned beef, then you need to finish up these potatoes in a couple of days. Just because you’re cooking the corned beef for a second time, it doesn’t extend the shelf life of the corned beef!
