Ingredients:

  • 2 large Potatoes

  • 1 teaspoon oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon Soy Sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon Ketchup

  • 1/2 teaspoon White Vinegar

  • 1/4 cup Milk

  • 1/4 cup Corn

  • 1/4 cup Green Bell Pepper, diced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.

  2. Clean potatoes and pierce with a fork. Cook in the microwave for 8 minutes, or until tender. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. In a medium pan, heat oil over medium-high heat, cook meat until starting to brown, stirring often and breaking apart. Add the veggies and cook until tender (3-4 min). Season with salt & pepper.

  4. Add the water, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and onion powder. Mix well and remove from heat.

  5. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and slightly trim the rounded base of each half to stabilize.
