These Cheesy Spicy Ranch Stuffed Baked Potatoes are the most delicious baked potatoes you’ll ever eat!
Oh friends.
I can’t even explain to you how in love with today’s post I am.
I mean, like, if I could marry a potato, this here tater would be mah man.
I am a potato gal through and through. And through.
Add to a potato some cheesy, spicy goodness and the rest is history.
Let’s talk dirty details.
This year I am working with PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese…and it’s been a match made in heaven. I use cream cheese in an obscene amount of my recipes, and this one was a happy coincidence. You know that crazy addicting Buffalo Chicken Dip that everyone goes nuts for? Well this is like that, but better. How is that even possible you ask? Well let’s discuss…
I went ahead and seasoned some big ol’ potatoes with salt and pepper and baked the living daylights out of them.
You can wrap them in foil too and they will stay warm forever, so these are perfect for game day tailgating or parties.
Next up you’ll need some cooked chicken. I cheated on this part with one of those handy Rotisserie Chickens that they sell at the supermarket. If you are crazy and don’t love those chickens, just cook up some chicken breasts and shred or dice them. You’ll need about 4 cups.
Next I mixed some softened butter with some PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese and a packet of Ranch seasoning. Oh..And some hot sauce. People. Hot sauce makes it all worth while.
I love adding PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese to this recipe because it’s so creamy. They use fresh local milk and real cream with NO preservatives in the original cream cheese brick. LOVE that!
Just mix that cheesy, ranchy deliciousness with your chicken.
You can keep this warm in a crock pot if you’re serving it for a party or make it right before you’re ready to serve…it’s so simple.
Then just stuff your potatoes with all that jazz…
And top it with more cheese.
And you know I just thought that I should have added bacon. DANG IT!
BUT with or without the bacon you’ve got yourself a potato that you will want to put a ring on. I swear to you…

Holy cow! This recipe is phenomenal. I love that chicken dip and I can imagine how good it is of potatoes!
I’ve had two potatoes on the counter staring me in the face for a few days. This is happening tonight! Thanks, Shelly!
This looks ridiculously good. I would totally marry this potato!
This looks so delicious, I can’t wait to try it!
My family is going to love these! Ranch and Red Hot are two of my favorite toppings for chicken and putting it all in a potato is genius!
Cheese and potatoes are the bestest of friends, I just love it!
You are rockin’ my world! This looks amazing!
Hi Shelly!
I absolutely love your blog! For the potato recipe with Philadelphia Cream Cheese – are you supposed to scoop out the potato and mix it with the chicken and cream cheese?
Have a great day!
Laura
Nope, just slice open the top of the potato and fill it up with the chicken mixture…much like you would prepare a loaded baked potato!
Potato PERFECTION!!!
