directions

  • Bake potatoes, 400 degree oven 50 minutes- 1 hour.
  • While they are baking make Ranch dip according to packet and put in fridge.
  • Let potatoes cool to where you can handle them and cut in half.
  • Scoop out middle of potatoes (I used a melon baller) and put in a bowl. Place hollow skins back on baking sheet to be filled.
  • Take about 1/4 cup of the ranch dip ( more to taste but save some for dunking!) and mix into potatoes.
  • Also add half of the bacon crumbles, a handful of cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Should resemble loaded mashed potatoes right now.
  • Use Icecream scoop to load potato mixture back in to the skins.
  • Top with remaining green onions, bacon and top with the cheese.
  • Place back in the oven about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve with the remaining Ranch dip.

  1. Yum! I really enjoyed these potatoes. The Ranch adds a nice flavor and they turned out very creamy. I used a Mexican blend cheese because that's what I had on hand. Thanks GinGin for another great recipe. Made for PAC Spring 2009.
     
  2. I love this recipe! To be honest I tried it purely based on your ROLL TIDE! I am a Bama fan myself & was so giddy to see another one on here while looking for gameday menus! So thank you for the recipe! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to cook desserts and pastas. I am very bad at multitasking in the kitchen so my goal is to one day cook Thanksgiving meal for my friends and family. I love to put healthy spins on my favorite "Guilty Pleasures." My favorite thing I make is goat cheese & sundried tomato profiteroles with herb oil and chocolate bundt cake. I want to build up my recipe box with some good basic dishes bc I have some very picky friends. I love to cook for people but I tend ot get overwhelmed thats why I love 30 minute meals w/ Rachel Ray. I also love Giada De Laurentiis, Paula Deen, and Ina Garten.
