Tips for the Perfect Loaded Philly Cheesesteak Baked Potato

✅ Choose the Right Potato – Russet potatoes work best because their skin crisps up nicely while the inside stays fluffy.

✅ Get Thinly Sliced Steak – For tender, juicy bites, use ribeye or sirloin and slice it as thin as possible. Freeze the steak for 20 minutes before slicing for easier cuts.

✅ Sauté Veggies to Perfection – Cook bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms until soft and caramelized for the best flavor.

✅ Melt the Cheese Just Right – Broil the assembled potatoes for 1-2 minutes to get that gooey, melted cheese effect.

✅ Make It Your Own – Add jalapeños for spice, swap provolone for mozzarella or cheddar, or drizzle some garlic aioli for extra flavor.
