For the Potatoes

Preparation

  2. Gently mash the insides with a fork.
  3. Stuff each potato with the buffalo chicken mixture.
  4. Top with shredded colby jack cheese and return to the oven.

Notes

For a thicker filling, add more yogurt or cream cheese. Experiment with different cheeses and add jalapeños for extra spice. These potatoes are great with a side salad or coleslaw.
