Twice Baked Potatoes

When having a BBQ or just having burgers for dinner, the sides are always the best part. Baked beans, green beans, potato chips, and mac and cheese are all great sides but my favorite is twice baked potatoes. The gooey cheese, and the taste of the ranch dressing is just an incredible flavor. It is so easy to make and so delicious that is is a great go to side dish. Ever since I can remember my dad has always made twice baked potatoes, and I have always been his assistant. As I got older and started to cook by myself, this has become a recipe that I now make for the family. I hope you enjoy this fabulously easy recipe that the whole family will enjoy! (this recipe is for 4 people)

Ingredients: 
4 potatoes
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cheddar cheese

First wash the potatoes, and place them in the oven and cook for about 45 minutes or until fully cooked.


When cooked take the potatoes out of the oven, and cut them in half.


Scoop out the inside of the potatoes, and put that into a bowl. In the bowl add the butter, heavy cream, half the cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing to the potatoes. Mix all this together until it looks almost like mashed potatoes. If it is too watery add cheese, and if too dry add more heavy cream.


Then fill the potato skins with the potato mixture.


Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the potatoes and put into the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.


Put the potato on your plate with a burger or some sort of barbecue dish, and enjoy!
