Excellent twice baked potatoes. Made as written. Loved the addition of the ranch dressing mix. I cut this recipe down for the two of us and it worked great. thanks

These were delicious! The ranch dressing and garlic really made them different than regular twice-baked potatoes. Nice tang to them. I forgot the green onions, but had enough chives in them to make up for them. Thanks for posting this keeper!
