Broccoli Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes Recipes

BROCCOLI RANCH TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash and dry your potatoes. Rub olive oil on the outside of each and sprinkle with coarse salt. I recommend about 1 teaspoon for the outside of the potatoes, reserving the remaining 1/2 teaspoon for the filling (which comes next).
• Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Potatoes will be crispy on the outside but soft and fully cooked on the inside. Remove from oven when done.
• Slice each potato in half and scoop out the inside and place in a mixing bowl. You'll still leave some of the inside there to keep your potato skins from falling in.
• In a bowl combine the insides of your potatoes with 1/2 cup Easy Ranch Dressing, salt, pepper, and melted ghee. Use a handheld mixer to whip your potatoes until you have a smooth consistency. Add more Ranch if necessary to get the creamy texture you're wanting. (Depending on how large your potatoes are you may find that you need up to 1 cup of Ranch.) These should look and feel like really lovely whipped mashed potatoes. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
• Give your broccoli a quick chop so they'll cook faster. Stir the chopped broccoli into your mashed potatoes.
• Using a spoon fill your potato skins with the mashed potatoes. Place them on the baking sheet in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Top with extra broccoli, chives, or a drizzle of Ranch if you like. Serve immediately.

• Allow potatoes to cool for a few minutes before handling them (I waited about 30 minutes). Carefully cut them in half (lengthwise) and scoop out the insides. Place the insides in a mixing bowl and then set the potato skins on a baking sheet.
• In mixing bowl with potatoes add steamed broccoli, 1 cup cheese, sour cream, ranch, salt, and pepper. Mix well together.
