Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins
Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Wash the potatoes and dry them completely.
- Pierce the potatoes in several spots with a fork.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 60-70 minutes or until the insides are soft.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh leaving a thin border of flesh on the skin. You will not need the flesh for these potato skins. You can save them for another use.
- Brush the insides of the potatoes skins with olive oil. Place the skins back on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip the potato skins over and bake for 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes are baking, in a large bowl stir together 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, shredded chicken, ranch seasoning and hot sauce, until well mixed.
- Fill the potato skins evenly with the chicken mixture.
- Top each potato skin with the remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top the potato skins with green onions, if desired.
Notes:
You can use 6 small potatoes instead of 4 medium.
