These are so good! My 8 year old ate her whole potato and she cringes anytime she hears the word "onion". I will definitely make these again. I used fresh, steamed broccoli.

I'm originally from Idaho so I'm always looking for new ways to serve potatoes. These were easy and yummy with no changes.

I thought this was a great recipe. Its a little tough to get the potato out of the skin without breaking it (but I'm also a beginner). I'll definitely make this again... but maybe with bacon...

This recipe adds great variety to your baked potatoes! Since I was baking some pork chops, I baked these in the oven instead of using the microwave, w/ the skins lightly coated in olive oil. Also, I took another's advice and added some parm cheese at the end. Great side dish Hallie - thanks for sharing it!

Very good recipe. I added a little bit of garlic and put bacon bits in the potato mixture.

I had to make a couple of changes due to the fact my husband is on a fat reduced diet(dr.ordered)and does not like ranch dressing... I added the chopped onions directly to the mashed potato mix to eliminate the butter. I used fat free Italian dressing in place of the ranch, and used mrs. dash's garlic and herb seasoning (2 Teaspoons) in the place of salt and pepper. I also sprayed the pan with a fat free olive oil cooking spray so I didn't need to rub the outside of the potato with oil. I also sprinkled the top with fat reduced pamersan cheese. VERY TASTY!!! Even my kids ate this (all 8 of them) and didn't realize it was fat reduced. Served it with grilled salmon fillets. Great base recipe for me to play with. Thank you Hallie.

These are excellent! I served them with the Slow Cooker Ribs from this site for Father's Day and it was a good combination. Also, since there are some people with small stomachs in our house, myself included, I made two large potatoes and three small ones and it was more than enough still. Thank you so much for the great recipe!

This is a delicious recipe following a few changes. I did as Bevink suggested and changed a few things of my own. I added lots of garlic to sautee with the onions and instead of ranch dressing I used a few tbsp's of olive oil (not extra virgin which tends to get bitter when you cook it) plus some parsley, a small amount of cheddar and parmesan cheese and 4 slices (for two potatoes) of cooked turkey bacon. Then I seasoned it with Emeril's Essence seasoning (lots!) and sprinkled a bit of sea salt on the outside of the spuds while they cooked. It was so good I ate it two nights in a row ;) Thank you.

Really good! Based on the previous reviews, I added garlic, half a cup of shredded colby jack cheese and used Hidden Valley Ranch dressing with Bacon to enhance the flavor. Also, to save time I didn't cook the onions, just mixed them with the rest of the filling ingredients before stuffing and baking the potates. This probably made the onion flavor stronger than the original recipe but if you like onion you'll really like the taste.

My family ate this but all said it needed more flavor. The funny thing is I had added more salt and pepper than the recipe called for and even added some fresh garlic. I'll make this again but will turn up the seasoning even more.

These were easy to make and looked nice - but lacked flavor. I would make them again but look for ways to add flavor. Maybe some cheese would have perked them up.

I just made this for lunch and I really enjoyed it. I halved the recipe and omitted the onion (it saved me a step and a dirty pan) and used BLT ranch dressing for a little more flavor. Very tasty and easy. I will definately make again, it is a great way to use up the last few potatoes in the bag!
