Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 4 tsp horseradish, drained
  • 6 thin slices sharp cheddar
  • 12 oz. deli-sliced roast beef
  • Pickles, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork. Microwave until very tender, about 15 minutes. Carefully slice in half lengthwise; season with salt and pepper.

  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, 1 tsp rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 12 minutes, adding 1 tsp vinegar in the last 1 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.

  3. Combine the sour cream, mayo, horseradish, remaining 1 tsp vinegar and 1/4 tsp rosemary in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Heat 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil in the skillet and add 2 potato halves cut-side down. Press down firmly with a spatula to flatten. Cook, turning once, until crisp and browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer, cut-side up, to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp. oil and 2 potato halves.

  5. Top each potato half with 1 tbsp. of the sour cream mixture, a slice of cheddar and the roast beef. Halve the remaining 2 slices cheddar and place 1 half on each potato; top with the onion mixture. Broil until the cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes. Serve with pickles and the remaining sour cream mixture on the side.
