Make

Heat oven to 425F / 218C. Line a sheet pan with foil.
Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and rub on all sides with some oil. Place potatoes cut-side down on sheet pan. Season the tops with some salt. Transfer to the oven and roast until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, ~30 minutes.
When potatoes are nearly finished cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and then seasoned beef and saute until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
Set out toppings - beef, onions, broccoli, green onions, tomatoes, olives, pepitas, and salsa.
Gently mash sweet potatoes with a fork. Have everyone top their potatoes at the table and enjoy!
