Twice Baked Ranch Potatoes

Twice Baked Ranch Potatoes

6 large potatoes..washed

1 packet of Ranch dressing mix

3 tbsp. of sour cream

1/3 cup of milk

1/2 tbsp. of butter

4 oz. of cream cheese

For topping

2 cup shredded cheese

5-6 strips of bacon..cooked and crumbled

Wash  6 large potatoes and poke them with a fork.

Cover in foil and bake in the oven at *425 for 45 min.

After they have cooled a bit carefully slice the potatoes in half.

Place all of the halves on an ungreased baking sheet and carefully take a spoon and make an indent around the edge of the inside of the potato (this helps when removing the insides).

Then scoop out the insides leaving a bit on the shell so the shell will hold together.

Next put all of the potato that you scoop out into a large mixing bowl.

Add sour cream, milk, butter, ranch mix and cream cheese.

Beat with mixer until the potatoes are nice and fluffy.

Spoon the mashed potatoes back into the potato shells and top with the shredded cheese and bacon.

Place in oven at *350 for 30 minutes.

My kids absolutely love these. I love them with a bit of green onion on top too. I would love to hear about any variations that you like!
