Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 3 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for baking potatoes
- Optional toppings: bacon bits, jalapeños, extra cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and salt. Bake directly on the rack for 50–60 minutes until tender.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving thin shells.
- Mash potato flesh with cream cheese, buffalo sauce, ranch, and half of the shredded cheese. Fold in chicken and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon filling back into potato skins and top with remaining cheese.
- Place on baking sheet and bake 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with more buffalo sauce, ranch drizzle, or fresh green onions. Enjoy hot!
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for the fluffiest results.
- Mix buffalo sauce into warm potatoes for the best flavor infusion.
- Leave a thin layer of potato inside shells for structure.
- For less spice, reduce buffalo sauce or swap with BBQ sauce.
- Make ahead by preparing filling and refrigerating stuffed shells until ready to bake.
