This is a recipe that Stacy introduced our family to several years ago. We LOVE it and so does everybody else who tries it.
Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes
5 baking potatoes
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
3 T. dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix (1 packet)
2 green onions, chopped
Oven Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash potatoes and poke holes in them with a knife. Place them straight on the oven rack (do not cover them with foil because you want crispy skins). Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 375 degrees. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, scoop out the middles with a small spoon and place in mixing bowl. (To save your hands from being burned, use a small hot pad to hold the potato halves when removing the middles.) Use a hand mixer to combine the middles with 1/4 cup butter and salt & pepper to taste. Stir in, with a spoon, 1 cup of the cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix and green onions. Spoon mixture into potato skins and place on baking sheet. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 more minutes.
Microwave Directions:
Wash potatoes, poke holes in them with a knife, then wrap them in plastic wrap. Cook for however long your microwave says for baked potatoes. Then cut each potato in half lengthwise, scoop out the middles with a small spoon and place in mixing bowl (the skins will be delicate, so be careful). (To save your hands from being burned, use a small hot pad to hold the potato halves when removing the middles.) Use a hand mixer to combine the middles with 1/4 cup butter and salt & pepper to taste. Stir in, with a spoon, 1 cup of the cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing mix and green onions. Spoon mixture into potato skins and place on a microwavable plate. Top with remaining cheese. Microwave for 3-4 minutes.
