RANCH STYLE TWICE BAKED POTATOES 
5 medium baking potatoes
1/4 cup butter
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided into 1 cup
3/4 cup sour cream
1 envelope of Ranch salad dressing
1 tbsp fresh snipped chives
1 garlic clove
1 regular pack of your favorite bacon
1 gallon size Ziploc bag.

1) Cook bacon until extra crispy. Remove bacon and take as much grease off as you can. Crumble bacon into "Bacon Bits" size and set aside for later.

2) Bake Potatoes at 400°F for 1 hour or until tender. Reduce heat to 375. Cut potatoes in half and scoop insides of potato into a mixing bowl saving the skin.

3) With mixer, mix bacon, 1 cup of cheese, chives, butter, sour cream, Ranch dressing.

4) Fill the Ziploc bag with the potato filling. Cut a corner out of the bottom bag and fill potato skins.

5) Sprinkle the other 1 cup of cheese over top of the potatoes and put in oven at 375°F for 15-20 min.

Enjoy.

I prepared this recipe over the weekend.. The best I have ever had. This recipe is a big hit with kids and adults. Great for a cookout. I baked 20 lbs. Potatoes, and should have made more... Thank you Jonathan Palmos for submitting this fantastic recipe.

Made these potatoes for many gatherings but the first was an office party at my home. My menu was all finger foods. I left out the bacon and chives completely. After filling the potato skins with mixture, I cut them in bite size pieces and sprinkled cheese on top. The perfect finger food with no mess. Delicious and many requests for them at future parties.

I tried this recipe, but changed the amounts to be only for single or double servings. It was wonderful, and so easy and flavorful. Also, used Monterey jack cheese, instead fo the cheddar. I will definitely try it again.

This is a very good recipe. I use this recipe in my restaurant. I also add two beaten eggs to the recipe and it makes the potatoes very fluffy and smooth.

Add finely diced onion to this mixture. Adds even more flavor. Also trying using Jack or Colby cheese. All are fantastic!
