Twice Baked Potato's

Potato's wrapped in foil & baked in oven
Unwrap potato's
Cut potato's length wise
Scoop out middle and put in bowl
Add: sour cream, ranch( I use Costco), & milk ( just until it is the consistency you want)
Mash with a potato masher
Add and mix: Dry Minced onion or green onion, Garlic salt (I like california style), pepper to taste & grated sharp cheese
Fill potato skins
Put on cookie sheet
Bake at 350' until heated thru and cheese looks melted

I do this to taste, add a little and then keep adding until it is the right flavor for you.
The sharp cheese and ranch are the key, I have tried other cheeses and it is not the same. I add minced onion , Sam doesn't like anything crunchy so I put dry minced onion in everything. If you have any Questions feel free to ask
