Baked until golden and bubbly, they deliver a perfect balance of heat and creaminess, with the crispy potato skin adding a satisfying crunch. Whether served as a hearty side dish or a main course, these twice-baked potatoes are sure to be a hit with anyone who loves bold flavors and satisfying textures.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (or more to taste)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Extra buffalo sauce and ranch dressing for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- While the potatoes bake, mix the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the potatoes are done, carefully slice each one in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato inside the skins to help them hold their shape.
- To the scooped-out potato, add the cream cheese, butter, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar. Mash everything together until smooth, then fold in the buffalo chicken and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly. Top each potato with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and serve with ranch dressing on the side.
