Method
Precalienta el horno a 200°C (400°F). Lava bien las papas y sécalas. Con un cuchillo, haz cortes horizontales casi hasta el fondo, dejando aproximadamente 1 cm sin cortar en la base.
Coloca las papas en una bandeja para hornear. Unta generosamente con mantequilla por dentro de los cortes y por fuera. Sazona con sal y pimienta.
Hornea las papas durante 50-60 minutos hasta que estén tiernas por dentro y doradas por fuera. El centro debe estar suave al presionar.
[object Object]
En una sartén grande, cocina la carne molida a fuego medio-alto, desmenuzándola con una cuchara de madera. Usa un termómetro de alimentos para verificar que alcance una temperatura interna mínima de 71°C (160°F) en el centro de la carne antes de retirarla del fuego.
Añade 1 taza del hogao que preparaste a la carne. Revuelve bien para combinar.
Retira las papas del horno. Con cuidado, abre los cortes con un tenedor para crear espacio para el relleno.
Cubre la parte superior de cada papa rellena con queso cheddar rallado.
Hornea por 10-15 minutos adicionales hasta que el queso esté derretido y burbujeante, con bordes dorados.
Retira del horno y deja reposar por 5 minutos antes de servir. Decora con cilantro fresco por encima si deseas.

Safety & Storage
Cooking Temperature
Cook ground beef to minimum internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) before consuming. Verify with food thermometer inserted into center of meat.
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and ensure potatoes reach tender consistency throughout before serving.
Handling
Use oven mitts when handling hot dishes. Cheese topping creates steam and hot cheese can cause burns when removed from oven.
Cross Contamination
Wash hands thoroughly with soap before and after handling raw ground beef. Use separate cutting boards for raw meat and vegetables.
Wash all produce including tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, and carrots under running water before preparation.
Storage
Refrigerate leftover stuffed potatoes within 2 hours of serving. Store in airtight container and consume within 3-4 days.
Allergen Warning
This dish contains milk products. Individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergy should avoid or use dairy-free alternatives.
High Risk Population
Ensure ground beef is cooked thoroughly for elderly, pregnant women, young children, and immunocompromised individuals to prevent foodborne illness.
Pro Tips
Technique
Don't rush the hogao, mi amor — let those tomatoes really melt down into that thick, fragrant sauce. Low and slow is the secret. When it's ready, you'll know because the oil starts to separate slightly and the whole kitchen smells like home.
Substitution
If you can't find queso cheddar, mozzarella works beautifully for melting, or a good quesito colombiano if you're lucky enough to have it nearby. The goal is that golden, stretchy pull when you dig your fork in.
From the chef
These papitas are what we call comida de recogerse, the kind of dish that brings everyone to the table before the plates are even served. My abuela used to say that when you smell the hogao cooking, your family already knows dinner is coming — and these baked stuffed potatoes, bubbling with cheese and that tomato-sofrito magic, are exactly why we never rush the cooking in our house. They're simple, they're honest, and they taste like Medellín.
