Broccoli Ranch Twice Baked Potatoes
I make twice baked potatoes all year round, but my favorite time whip these up is during the summer season. This recipe for broccoli ranch twice baked potatoes is perfect as a side dish for steak and asparagus (great, now I’m hungry). How do you make your stuffed potatoes?

I am participating in the Hidden Valley Ranch Ranchify Recipe Challenge (in a separate blog post, this recipe for broccoli twice baked potatoes is not sponsored). Other than using it as a dip for my pizza crust, I’m not a big ranch eater so I thought that this challenge would be just that –  challenging. Then I remembered that I make awesome twice baked potatoes.
Since this challenge required me to use a Hidden Valley Ranch product, I had to switch up my recipe a fair bit. Actually, to be completely honest I just started through stuff together when it came down to it (the best recipes always start out this way).
I had to choose between the Original, Spicy and Cheese flavored ranch varieties for my potatoes. I knew either one would taste great, but I opted for the Spicy. In the end, the results were simply delicious.
When I usually make stuffed potatoes I simply add broccoli, red pepper, cheese (either cheddar or a tex mex variety), Miracle Whip, and sometimes sour cream. Oh and garlic…lots and lots of garlic. I never usually measure it out but I did attempt it when I made this ranch stuffed potato recipe.
This broccoli ranch twice baked potato recipe is loaded with flavor and make even the non-potato lovers (like me) want to go for seconds. The potatoes I used in this recipe were massive, so if you’re using smaller potatoes I recommend using less ranch and miracle whip (reduce by roughly a tablespoon each).
BBQ Twice Baked Potatoes
It’s easy to make these twice baked potatoes on the BBQ. Simply wrap the potatoes in aluminum foil at first and then once the insides are restuffed, place them on these baking tins and BBQ on medium until the cheese is melted and the stuffing is warm.
Twice Baked Potatoes Ingredients
Since it’s just the two of us (well, three but my son is one and not eating this) I only cook up two potatoes to stuff but this is easy to make work for your family.
- Large russet potatoes
- Garlic
- Chopped broccoli
- Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch
- Light Miracle Whip
- Cheddar cheese (tex mex also works)
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Twice Baked Potatoes
TBK’s Pro Tip:Â Don’t do what I did and completely gut the potatoes, leave some along the edge so the shell will hold it’s shape. I messed up the first two, which lead to two massive stuffed potatoes instead of four.
That’s it! They’re really easy to make and will be an amazing side dish for your next family BBQ. If you like it, don’t forget to pin it!

Triple yum, I love me some broccoli and twice baked potatoes! This sounds like perfection!!
Holy smokes, lady! You sure know how to make a potato look good! Definitely going to add this to my list of “must try” recipes!!
They’re amazing Christine, and this is coming from someone who is not a “fan” of potatoes.
What a great balance! YUMMY! I will be making this for sure!
I’m sure you’ll love it 🙂
Oh my word those look delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will have to try it this weekend.
I love twice baked potatoes, but no one else in my family does. YOur dinner creation looks super yummy!
Excuse my manners, I’m drooling! I love broccoli, cheese and potatoes, but have never thought of this combination. I would like to try this recipe in the near future.
I have a house full of Ranch fanatics. This would be a hit for sure!
lol I did a twice baked potato for this challenge last year! this looks delish!
I am not a fan of the potato – but this looks absolutely delicious! I think my family would love these.
Awesome! I made them for dinner last night and they were a huge hit!! Simply delicious! 🙂
Hooray! My first feedback comment 🙂 This made my day Jeanette.
These look delicious! If I don’t have time to bake them (the first time, for the 45 min), is it ok to microwave them instead?
I don’t see why not 🙂 I used to do that all the time, I probably would have done that anyway but I don’t have a microwave.
I have never made twice baked potatos! These look so delicious and so with that said I just have to do this!! Love the ranch and broccoli in them also. Can’t wait to do these. And my hubby will love them I’m sure of it. I think maybe I will also put a bit of bacon on top also after baking.
My husband loves to add bacon to his.
WOW!!! My mouth is watering just reading the recipe!! I can’t wait to make this. I might also try the ingredients in regular mashed potatoes too!
