Ingredients
  

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp Ranch seasoning, optional
  • 1 stalk green onion, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Wash potatoes and pierce skin several times with a fork.
  • Depending on the size of the potatoes, bake them for 60-90 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
  • Remove potatoes from the oven and place them on a wire rack. Allow them to cool.
  • Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh and place in a mixing bowl. Leave about a ¼ inch of flesh attached to the skins.
  • To the potato filling add sour cream, melted butter and ranch dressing mix.
  • Add the grated cheddar cheese.
  • Mix together. Using a stand mixer makes quick work of combining all the ingredients.
  • Scoop filling into the reserved potato skins.
  • Top with a sprinkle of Ranch seasoning.
  • Finish with a little extra cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until filling is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve with a spinkle of sliced green onions if desired.
