Twice Baked Buffalo Potatoes

By ForkAndTheCork

Ingredients

• Serves 10
• 5 large russet potatoes, washed and dried
• 3 tbsp. unsalted Butter
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/3 cup Gorgonzola or blue cheese crumbles
• 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
• salt and pepper, to taste
• olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F. Place the potatoes on the rack in the centre of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Poke each potato in a couple spots with a fork and continue to bake until tender, about 30 minutes more. Remove potatoes from the oven, and turn the heat down to 375 degrees F.

Holding the potato with an oven-mitt, cut the potatoes in half. Carefully scoop out most of the potato and put into a bowl. Be careful to leave enough potato in the skin so the shells don't fall apart.

Mash the potato lightly with fork, and add the butter, buffalo sauce and sour cream. Stir in the green onions and cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lightly rub olive oil on outside of the skins, and then sprinkle salt and pepper on them. Refill the shells with the potato mixture. Sprinkle Gorgonzola on top.

Set the potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake until heated through and cheese melted, about 20 minutes. Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
