Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium red potatoes washed and scrubbed well
- 1/4 cup salted butter softened
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk ranch dressing mix
- 4 ounces sliced jack cheese cut into pieces to fit into potatoes
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Microwave potatoes for 4-5 minutes, turning over once, until almost tender when inserting knife into center.
-
Meanwhile, stir together softened butter and ranch mix until smooth.
-
Using a towel or oven mitt to protect your hand, make 1/4″ slices in potatoes, stopping before you slice through to the bottom. (Placing potato in a large wooden spoon during this step can help prevent slicing through completely.)
-
Place sliced potatoes on baking sheet. Use a spreading knife to push some of the seasoned butter into each incision.
-
Place a piece of cheese into each incision (cut to just fit).
-
Bake potatoes for 10 minutes in preheated oven. Then, broil for 5-7 minutes, until skin starts to brown.
