Cut each potato lengthwise into halves. Scoop out inside of potatoes, but leave about 1/4-inch layer of potato in shell. Save insides of potatoes to make mashed potatoes, if desired.
Brush insides of potato shells with melted ghee. Place shells, cut sides up, on ungreased baking sheet. Bake uncovered until edges are brown, 15-20 minutes.
While potatoes are baking - brown ground beef in a skillet. Add cumin, granulated onion, and cayenne pepper about halfway through browning process.
After removing potato shells from oven, spoon browned, seasoned beef into shells and sprinkle tops with cheese.
Return potatoes to oven and heat just until melted. Remove and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
