Ingredients (6)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps (4)

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400ºF.

  2. 2

    Carefully cut slits lengthwise, then crosswise into tops of each baked potato. Gently scoop out centers, leaving skins intact, and place in a large bowl; reserve 4 potato skins.

  3. 3

    Add the dressing and milk to the potatoes in the bowl and mash until smooth (if the potatoes seem a little dry add more milk). Stir in bacon, 2 teaspoons parsley, and season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Generously fill reserved skins with potato mixture and bake until puffy and golden, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon parsley; serve immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Puffy Pots These were the best--been trying to find a good stuffed pot. recipe. I first pierced them and cooked on high in microwave, then followed the rest of the instructions. A little faster if you do it that way, and the skin still comes out crisp in the oven.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from YUM! I love to use both the dry seasoning and premade ranch. Add to mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or toss some string green beans, carrot slices, and potato cubes in a frying pan. sauté with olive oil till tender toss in dry ranch packet, coat well and serve! Total hit with the family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ranch Twice-Baked Potatoes! But the baked potatoes in half, and then scoop out the flesh for the recipe. It makes them easier to refill rather than cutting a slit. Plus, less room for error and more room for creativity in presentation.
