- 2 Tablespoons sea or kosher salt

Get out and measure your ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350° and make sure the rack is on the middle rung of the oven. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil.
Clean the potatoes with a scrub brush and pat dry. Rub the potatoes with olive oil all over and sprinkle with salt on all sides.
With a fork poke the potatoes on all sides 4-6 times each and place on the cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour or until a fork can be inserted easily.
Remove potatoes from the oven and with tongs and one at a time place a potato on a cutting board. With a large sharp knife cut each potato in half. Use a spoon and scoop out the middle of each potato and place into a bowl. Replace each scooped out potato back onto the cookie sheet.
Mash the potato middles and add 1 cup of cheddar cheese, the mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, chicken, buffalo hot sauce, and sour cream. Mix well. With a spoon refill each potato skin with heaping amounts of the buffalo chicken mixture.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese and place back in the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Serve with ranch dressing and green onion or additional sour cream.
Enjoy!
Every bite.

A balanced, satisfying lunch or dinner these cheesy stuffed potatoes reheat very well also.
