Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup hot sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape while baking.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes bake, combine the unsalted butter, hot sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each potato lengthwise down the middle. Gently push the ends inward to open the potato like a pocket.
Drizzle the buffalo sauce mixture evenly inside each potato. Top them with shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and add a dollop of sour cream to each one. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while still warm and enjoy your spicy, creamy Buffalo Style Baked Potatoes!
