My daughter made these easy peasy twice baked potatoes. She loves to cook too, but with a career, a soon to be 3 year old, and Baby Boy on the move, she has precious little time
We were so thrilled when she made these potatoes for us recently
I thought they were totally brilliant and worth sharing with you…
Her secret ingredient is creamy salad dressing
You might not always have sour cream or yogurt in your refrigerator, but if you have butter and a bottle of creamy salad dressing you’re all set!
She used bleu cheese dressing, but you can use ranch or creamy Italian
Add some garlic powder, chopped green onion and grated cheese too if you like
Prepare them early in the day and then bake right before serving. You can freeze them after baking too
SALAD DRESSING STUFFED POTATOES
Ingredients
- 1/2 or 1 baking potato per person
- Creamy Bleu Cheese Ranch or Italian Dressing
- 1 T butter per potato
- chopped chives optional
- grated cheese optional
Instructions
- Wash potatoes and prick with a fork. Bake at 425 for 1 hour or until soft throughout. Let cool a few minutes for easier handling. Cut potatoes in 1/2 or cut a small slice off tops.
- Carefully Scoop out the potato from the skin, being careful not to damage the skin. Mash cooked potatoes with butter until melted, and add enough salad dressing to get a creamy consistency. Season potato mixture with salt and pepper, onions, and grated cheese if desired, and mix. Spoon potato mixture back into shells and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes until heated through.
Notes
There is nothing better than potatoes! What is your favorite way to cook them?

Yum! I love potatoes ANY way! 👍😝
Potatoes are my favorite food group Jenna! Your daughter’s twice baked version has to be delicious with the addition of the dressing!
Thank you for all the nice potato recipes and have great week.
Thanks Liz, rounding up all these potato recipes sure made me hungry for potatoes! Thanks for stopping by- >
We love potatoes here and you have covered potato territory! Love you daughter’s recipe, great idea using salad dressing. They look delicious……..
What a little cutie (the kid, not the food)! I ‘ll bet he is into everything. Your daughter’s potatoes look heavenly. I remember doing something like that many years ago when I was first learning to cook. I probably stopped because it was a lot of trouble. This way sounds much easier!
I hope your St. Patty’s Day is delicious! I know it will be if you serve any of these potatoes!
Love your round up! Now I’m craving loaded potato skins… and football:@) Twice baked potatoes are always a fav of mine too!
Potatoes are my favorite – never met a potato I didn’t like! I am loving all of these recipes!
Potatoes have to be the most versatile and delicious of all vegetables…I couldn’t imagine giving up potatoes for any reason.
Your daughter’s version of baked potatoes sounds delicious…Lite House Bleu Cheese is the best.
I see mischief in those beautiful blue eyes of your little grandson!
Thanks Marigene! Who can live without potatoes???
Loving all the potato recipes! I think my tribe thrives on them. I just made some that were twice baked shepherd pie potatoes. I am going to have to try these now.
I know where to come from now on for potato inspiration!
Potatoes are definitely one of my favourite veggies and as you point out, so versatile. That said; thank you for idea of using salad dressing. I often microwave them first and know some would call that cheating but it does speed up the process and no one has ever noticed the difference … ☺. -Brenda-
I often microwave the potatoes too, makes quick work of it! Thanks for commenting! >
