Drain and let them steam dry, then let them cool until they're comfortable to handle. Brush a muffin pan with oil and place the potatoes skin side down. Brush a sturdy glass with oil and press each one gently into a cup. Shape the walls and even out the rim. Boil a few extra to patch any thin spots. Season: Mix melted butter, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Brush the cups all over, sides and rim too. Pre-bake at 400°F / 200°C for 20-30 minutes until golden and crisp. Beef: Brown the ground beef in a hot skillet, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl. In the same pan, cook the onion in butter until soft. Add the bell pepper and cook until softened. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, thyme and chili flakes. Cook 30-40 seconds until fragrant. Return the beef, add stock, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Simmer until thick. Stir in fresh parsley off the heat. For a filling that holds together better, mix in a handful of shredded cheese while it's hot. Assemble and bake: Fill each pre-baked cup generously and press the filling in. Top with cheese and a sprinkle of oregano. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Rest and serve: Let them rest for 10-15 minutes so they set and lift out easily. Serve with a spoonful of sour cream and a fresh side salad - the sour cream makes them even better.
