Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and place your potatoes in a deep casserole dish.

Bake them for one hour, and let cool completely.

Slice each potato in half and scoop out the centers with a spoon, (leaving about 1/4 inch inside the potato) and place in a bowl.

Place potato skins on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes.

Take your bowl of potatoes and add in cream cheese, butter, ranch dressing mix, and buttermilk.

Mix with a hand mixer until smooth, add more buttermilk if too dry.

Scoop potato mixer into the skin, filling each one up, as shown.

Place back into the casserole dish and top with cheese, bacon, and green onions.

*Note: You could also dice up the potatoes and turn this into a Twice Baked Potato Casserole*

Broil for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Serve and enjoy!
