While cooling the potatoes, heat olive oil in skillet and Sauté garlic. Add ground beef and continue to fry over medium heat until browned. Remove and drain fat, add salt and pepper to taste.
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice thinly the top of each potato, scrape out the pulp, leaving a 1/4″ shell. Set aside the scraped potato pulp in a mixing bowl then place potato shells on a baking pan.

Return to oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
