Time 1h20m

Yield 20 halves, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 russet potatoes
16 ounces sour cream
1 ounce ranch dip mix
2 cups cheddar cheese or 2 cups monterey jack cheese, mix
5 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
2 green onions, sliced
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • 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.
