If you love buffalo wings and twice-baked potatoes, then this recipe is for you. It’s a delicious mashup of two great tastes that taste great together. I’ve been making twice-baked potatoes for decades. They’re actually a lot easier to make than their appearance would suggest, and they’re always loaded with flavor. The baked potato flesh is mild and the perfect vehicle for adding all kinds of flavors. Over the years, I’ve mostly stuck to variations that use cheese, sour cream, chives, and the traditional baked potato toppings, but with this recipe, I wanted to do something totally different. So I made a full meal that has all the flavors of everyone’s favorite appetizer – Buffalo chicken. These potatoes are perfect for lunches, dinners, and any party, potluck, or gathering.

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Potatoes

These stuffed potatoes take the classic twice-baked potato and gives it a spicy twist. It starts with large russet potatoes baked to perfection and hollowed out. Then, I add shredded chicken, butter, sour cream, hot sauce, Buffalo wing sauce, Mozzarella cheese, and ranch dressing to create a stuffed potato that’s overflowing with the spicy, zippy flavors of Buffalo chicken. It’s a complete meal in and of itself, and it’s always so filling and full of delicious flavors. Serve it up for lunches or dinners, bring it to parties, or set them out for your next game-day party.

Tips

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Potatoes

Making these stuffed potatoes is far easier than you might think. It only takes a few simple steps!

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes and Boil the Chicken

Wash and dry the potatoes and poke holes in each several times with a fork. Rub them with vegetable oil and place them on a baking sheet. Then, bake them for an hour at 375 degrees or until fork tender. Add chicken to a large pot of water and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cook chicken until done. Drain and shred chicken. Set aside.

Step 2: Hollow out the Potatoes

Let the baked potatoes cool until you can safely handle them. Then, cut a V lengthwise down the center of each cooked potato and spoon out potatoes, leaving a wall of potato against the skin about ⅓-inch thick.

Step 3: Make the Potato Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the potato flesh, butter, sour cream, hot sauce, buffalo sauce, mozzarella cheese, shredded chicken, and seasonings, and mix until combined.

Step 4: Bake Again

Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, top with more mozzarella cheese, and bake for another 15 minutes at 375 degrees or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Drizzle with ranch or your favorite dressing and enjoy!
