Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes already baked
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon season salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup cheese shredded and divided
- 3 tablespoons bacon bits divided
- 3 tablespoons chives chopped or green onions, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Slice baked potatoes in half lengthwise so that each half is deep instead of shallow, if possible.
- Gently scoop out the potato from the shell and set aside in a medium bowl, leaving about ¼ inch edge on the potato shell.
- Combine the scooped out potato with the sour cream, ranch dressing, salts, pepper, ¾ cup of the cheese, 2 tablespoons of the bacon bits and 2 tablespoons of the chives.
- Scoop filling back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bacon bits. I find it is easiest to place shells on a baking sheet for this step.
- Refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake.
- Bake on a sheet tray for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the potatoes are heated through.
- Sprinkle with remaining chives.
