Helpful Hints
Garnish these hearty potatoes with green onions or fresh chives. Use kitchen scissors to easily snip the chives right over the tops of the potatoes just before serving.

How to Bake Potatoes :
Russet potatoes are best for baking. Scrub potatoes well, blot dry and rub the skin with a little oil and salt. Prick the skin of the potatoes with a fork so steam can escape. Stand them on end in a muffin tin. Bake at 400 for 1 hour or until tender.

• 1/2 cup Kraft Ranch Dressing
