- Scrub potatoes until clean and dry them.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake one hour or until potatoes are cooked through.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- While potatoes are cooking, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Season with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper.
- Lower oven temperature to 350° F.
