Instructions

Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Using a fork, pierce holes all around the surface of each potato.
Evenly coat each potato with about a teaspoon of oil and sprinkle each with about ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Place the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.*
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool enough to be able to handle them.
Once the potatoes are cooled enough to touch, cut each of them in half lengthwise.
Using a spoon, scoop out the inside of each section of potato, leaving about ¼-inch of the skin covered.
Use the remaining oil to brush both the insides and outsides of the potato halves.
Place each of the potato halves evenly onto the baking sheet with the skin facing up. Cook for 20 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. While the potatoe skins are baking, prepare the hamburger mixture.

Hamburger

In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil.
When hot, add the onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, breaking up the meat as you go, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess grease as necessary. While the hamburger is browning, make the sauce.

Sauce

To a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup. Mix to combine. Store in the refrigerator until ready to add to the potatoes.

Assembly

Fill each potato skin with the hamburger mixture and top each with shredded cheese. (I added about 2 tablespoons of cheese to each potato skin.)
Place the filled potato skins in the oven to broil for one minute, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Serve potato skins topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and sauce.
