fatty fat strikes again

So the buffalo wings on Sunday were rockin. I decided to throw caution to the wind (along with the green beans) and make twice-baked potatoes to go with them.

They were the proverbial tits.

Try it.

Potatos
dry ranch pkg
butter
salt
sour cream
cheese

Pierce the potatos and bake in a 400* oven for about 1-1.5hrs until tender but not busting.
Pull out and let cool

cut in half long ways (so they look like boats!) and scoop out the 'good stuff' with a big spoon
                 ~side note, I REALLY don't' like when potato skins/ twice baked have a layer of good stuff still  in them, it feels wasteful.

bake the skins for another 5/10 mins to get crispy

while skins are baking, mash the good stuff with some (ie however much/little you want) butter and sour cream. DON"T whip, it takes away all the character. add spices, garlic, whatever you like, AND (some of the) ranch packet (SO GOOD)

pull the skins out and refill with the good stuff mixture, pile on some cheese and bake again until hot, then put under broiler for a few to brown up the cheese.

You're welcome.
