# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Scrub baking potatoes to remove any dirt, then wipe them dry. Prick with a knife or fork.
03 -
Coat the potato skins with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with garlic salt.
04 -
Place the potatoes uncovered in an iron skillet or heavy baking sheet. Turn the potatoes after 25-30 minutes. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the insides are fork tender and the skins are crispy and golden brown. Adjust cooking time based on potato size.

While the potatoes are baking, mix the ranch seasoning into the sour cream and let the flavors combine.
06 -
Grill the chicken thighs until cooked through.

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each potato lengthwise and squeeze the sides to fluff the insides. Top with butter, salt, pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, grilled chicken, ranch-flavored sour cream, diced bacon, and chopped green onions.
