Stuff, Roll, and Wrap. The possibilities and creations are endless with these methods of preparing a dish. Whether one wraps, stuffs, and rolls as a method to add more flavor, or for convenience, or simply for aesthetics. The big treat is almost always is in the stuffing, the center of the wrap or the roll.
Today I’m using the method of stuffing, and I’m stuffing the humble potato. When I think potatoes, I think of this spicy Korean (of course) spicy pork and potato soup or gamjatang. The soup has a soothing pork-based broth that is complemented by the peppery flavor of perilla or kkaenip and the potato adds a little more heft to this hearty soup. This soup is the inspiration for my Meaty Stuffed Potatoes for Sunday Supper!
Korean-style Meaty Stuffed Potatoes #SundaySupper
Ingredients
- 2 Russet potatoes
- Cooking oil
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon kochujang Korean spicy red pepper paste
- 2 Tablespoons dwaenjang Korean soybean paste
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced kkaenip a.k.a. perilla about 5 large leaves
- 1 teaspoon kochugaru red pepper powder
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- About 1/2 cup Sour cream
- 2 leaves kkaenip finely chopped
- 2-3 stalks scallions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes clean. With a fork, pierce the potatoes several times. Once the oven is ready, bake the potatoes on a baking sheet for 1 hour. Alternatively, you can "bake" the potatoes in a microwave oven for 10 minutes on high.
- Prepare the pork while the potatoes are baking. Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the ground pork, breaking it apart with a large spoon as it cooks. Once it starts to brown, add the ginger, garlic, kochujang, dwaenjang, kochugaru, and kkaenip. Stir until the pork is completely coated. Take off the heat and set aside.
- When the potatoes are done, set aside until cooled enough to handle. Note: do not turn off the oven quite yet. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. With a spoon, carefully scoop out the potatoes and add to the pork mixture. No need to scoop out everything; leave enough potato so that the halved potato maintains its shape. Stir the potatoes with pork mixture, add the sesame oil, and sesame seeds until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop approximately 1/4 of the mixture into each of the potato halves. If you need to reheat, place the stuffed potato halves onto a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven. To serve, top the potatoes with a dollop of sour cream, a few fingerfuls of scallions and chopped kkaenip.

Delicious looking stuffed potatoes! And thank you for being such a great host!
How clever, Amy. Love how you’ve used the spiciness of the soup to balance the sweeter potato. Thank you for the recipe AND for hosting!
I wish I could get those ingredients closer to me!! Need to wait for a trip downtown methinks!
LOVE your Korean style stuffed potato!!!! yum!!! Man, I wish I got my act together and was able to participate today!!! I definitely will the next time you host!

Love this idea! What a fantastic meal!
you definitely can’t go wrong with a stuffed potato, but you took it to another level. I Love it.
Now that is my kind of stuffed potato, what a great idea!!
Oh my this is THE perfect stuffed potato. It looks so delicious!
There is something so appealing about a potato that is a meal all by itself! I want to dive right into this!
You have taken twice-baked potatoes to a whole new level with this Amy. Love the flavors of the stuffing.
Ames, you’ve been killing it lately with the amazing recipes. First that spam ramen burger (seriously, it WILL NOT leave my brain!) and now this incredible take on one of my favourite foods, the stuffed potato. That is one legit potato, girl. Love the Korean spin. #represent
I eat baked potatoes often for dinner, so I can’t wait to try this Korean version. Thanks for hosting!
How creative! I totally drool over this stuffed potatoes. Love the twist you have and this looks so appetizing!
I am not sure how you managed to be the hostess with the mostest AND come up with Korean-style Meaty Stuffed Potatoes which btw, look DELISH!
A long, long time ago, there used to a small restaurant in Houston that served only baked potatoes, with every filling imaginable. It was one of my favorite places on earth to eat and I was so sad when it closed. I would have ordered your spicy meaty stuffed potatoes in a heartbeat, Amy! They look absolutely wonderful!
Nothing beats a potato that’s stuffed with yummy things. This recipe looks amazing! Thanks for hosting this week too. Much appreciated 🙂

Wow, I wish I was still in St. Louis. There’s a fake meat company called Match Meats and they have a ground pork product, it’s fantastic and would be such an easy sub in this recipe. Maybe I’ll order some online. I love potatoes, this just brings them over the top.
I need to experiment with his recipe with seitan or something!! What a fantastic idea – it’s not a humble potato now 🙂
I have got to find a market that I can buy those spices at so I can make these. YUM!!
Wow I be the flavor is amazing in this dish! One dish dinner too!
These are totally going on my to-make list!
Looks beautiful! I love the idea of stuffed potatoes, yummy
stuffed potatoes with attitude — bring on the hot sauce — cathy
Not only do they sound delicious, they look the same!
Thanks for hosting this week! And this looks just beyond completely amazing. I haven’t had a stuffed potato in years – now why is that??
