How to Make Hearty Twice Baked Potatoes
- Scrub 4 large russet potatoes and pierce each with a fork several times.
- Bake potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, microwave on high for 12-14 minutes, turning halfway through.
- While potatoes bake, cook 1 pound breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
- Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the potato pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the potato pulp with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
- Stir in the cooked sausage, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup chopped cooked ham, 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons ranch salad dressing, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells.
- Place the stuffed potatoes on two ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
