Ranch Style Potato Skins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place potatoes in a 1-gallon-size Glad® Zipper Bag and add oil; seal bag. Toss to coat.
• Add Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix and toss again until coated. Bake in ungreased baking pan for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp.

Steps:

• Scoop the potato out of the skins; combine with sour cream and dressing mix. Fill skins with mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with green onions and/or bacon bits, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and refrigerate until cold, then cut into bite-size pieces.
• While the potatoes simmer, cook the bacon. Place the bacon in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat until brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble.
• Combine the cooked potatoes, crumbled bacon, Cheddar cheese, and green onions in a large bowl. Fold in the ranch dip. Refrigerate overnight.

Steps:

• oven to 425ºF.
• Scrub the potatoes of any excess dirt and prick them each several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tossing lightly to coat.
• Bake in the oven until tender, about 45-60 minutes depending on the size of the potato. Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let cool enough to handle.
• When the potatoes have about 10 minutes left in the oven, place the tomatoes onto a baking sheet and drizzle them lightly with olive oil. Season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper and roast them in the oven until they've blistered, about 15 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooling, combine the buttermilk, garlic, hot sauce and herbs in a small mixing bowl. Season the ranch with salt and freshly ground black pepper and reserve in the refrigerator until the potatoes are ready.
• Once the potatoes are cool, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop the insides out into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of flesh still intact on each half. Be sure not to pierce the skin of the potato while doing so. Add the ranch to the potato and mash lightly to mix everything together. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and scoop the filling back into the hollowed out potato shells, dividing it evenly between all eight.
• Place the potato skins back onto a baking sheet and sprinkle the cheese over each of them.
• Place them back into the oven to melt the cheese, 1-2 minutes. Top each potato with some of the roasted tomatoes and serve them up with your favorite side salad alongside. Enjoy!
