Ingredients

Scale

4 large russet potatoes
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes, pat dry, and pierce each with a fork.
Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet, optionally rub with oil and salt, and bake 45–60 minutes until tender.
While potatoes bake, toss shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
When potatoes are done, cut them lengthwise, scoop out half the flesh, and mash with sour cream, half the cheese, salt, and pepper.
Fold the buffalo‑coated chicken into the mashed potato mixture and spoon the filling back into the potato shells.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest briefly, then garnish with chopped green onions and serve.
