Twice Baked Potatoes

This recipe is delicious! It is a Paula Deen recipe so it is not low fat, but so worth it.

2 Large Baking Potatoes

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

3 tablespoons sour cream

1 tablespoon dry ranch salad dressing mix

2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Wash potatoes and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a small baking sheet, and bake 1 hour, or until tender. Allow potatoes to cool until easy to handle.

3. Cut off top one-third of potatoes lengthwise, and discard. Scoop out pulp of potatoes, leaving a 1/4 inch thick shell; set aside.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a small baking sheet.

5. In a medium bowl, combine potato pulp, butter, and remaining ingredients. Mash with a fork to combine. Spoon potato mixture into potato shells; place on a baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes or until heated through.
