Twice Baked Potatoes

Makes 2 Servings

2 large baking potatoes
1/4 C butter
1/4 C shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (3oz) package cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp dry ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Wash potatoes and wrap in foil. Place on a small baking sheet, and bake 1 hour or until tender. Allow potatoes to cool until easy to handle.

Cut off top 1/3 of potatoes lengthwise, and discard. Scoop out pulp of potatoes and place in medium bowl, leaving a  1/4-inch-thich shell; set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a small baking sheet.

In a medium bowl, combine potato pulp, butter, and remaining ingredients. Mash with a fork to combine. Spoon potato mixture into potato shells; place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, or until heated through.
