Ingredients
  

Potatoes
  • 4 large Russet potatoes Scrubbed and pricked with a fork
Buffalo Chicken Filling
  • 2 cups cooked chicken Shredded
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce Adjust to taste
  • 1 cup cream cheese Softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing For drizzling
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste

Method
 

Bake the Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pricked potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
  2. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Twice Bake the Potatoes
  1. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into the bowl with the chicken mixture, leaving a small border of potato in the skins.
  2. Mash the scooped potato with a fork and mix it into the chicken filling until combined.
  3. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly. Top with extra cheddar cheese.
  4. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
  1. Drizzle the ranch dressing over the top of the baked potatoes and serve hot.
