Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

Oh my are these delicious! Crispy potato skins filled with a spicy and cheesy chicken filling.

Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400º F.
  2. Wash the potatoes and dry them completely.
  3. Pierce the potatoes in several spots with a fork.
  4. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 60-70 minutes or until the insides are soft.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes.
  6. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh leaving a thin border of flesh on the skin. You will not need the flesh for these potato skins. You can save them for another use.
  7. Brush the insides of the potatoes skins with olive oil. Place the skins back on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip the potato skins over and bake for 5 minutes.
  9. While the potatoes are baking, in a large bowl stir together 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, shredded chicken, ranch seasoning and hot sauce, until well mixed.
  10. Fill the potato skins evenly with the chicken mixture.
  11. Top each potato skin with the remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.
  13. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top the potato skins with green onions, if desired.
Enjoy!!!

Notes:
You can use 6 small potatoes instead of 4 medium.
