How to Make Buffalo Style Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup ranch dressing, 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix until well blended.
  3. Wash and scrub 4 large russet potatoes. Slice each potato 3/4 of the way through in a fan-like pattern, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Microwave potatoes on high for 10 minutes to partially cook.
  5. Arrange potatoes on a greased baking sheet or pie plate.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over each potato.
  7. Generously pour the cheese and Buffalo sauce mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it gets into the crevices of the slices.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite toppings, if desired.
