1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp salt

Directions
Wash and scrub potatoes, poke each one several times with a fork. Place in oven and bake 400 degrees for 65-70 minutes, or until soft when squished . Remove baked potatoes from oven , slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh so potato maintains it's shape. Place potato skins on a baking sheet. Add butter to hot potato flesh in mixing bowl and mash potatoes with a potato masher until no longer chunky.
if you like your potatoes any thinner just add a little bit of milk a few tablespoons at a time to reach desired consistency). Fill potato skins with mashed potatoes and smooth out tops with a spoon. Sprinkle filled potatoes with cheddar cheese. Sprinkle each potato with about 1/8 tsp season salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Bake filled potatoes for 15 - 20 minutes . Remove from oven, sprinkle potatoes with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions, and drizzle with ranch dressing. Serve immediately.
