Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • ⅓ cup Ranch dressing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Scrub and dry the skin of the potatoes. Make sure to pierce the skin of the potatoes at least 3 or 4 times before baking.
  • Bake: Bake your potatoes in the oven for about an hour at 375 degrees F. The internal temperature of the potatoes should reach 200 degrees F. Then, remove the potatoes from the oven and slice each one in half horizontally.
    Keep the oven on, they do require baking again. After all, they are TWICE baked potatoes.
  • Make filling: Next, scoop the centers out of the potato skins and place the meat of the potato into a medium-sized bowl. Be sure to leave a small edge of potato around the skins to it is sturdy enough to create the bowl you will be filling. In the bowl with the potato chunks, add the ranch dressing, garlic powder, sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese to your potatoes. Mash the potatoes and mix all the ingredients together until fully combined.
  • Assemble: Proceed to scoop the potato mixture and fill up the potato skins. Fill them all up, equally dividing the filling between the 8 halves. After that, sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake (again): Place the potatoes back into the oven for another 5-6 minutes or until the cheese on top has melted completely. Serve immediately and enjoy.
