Twice Baked Ranch Potatoes

I was looking for a recipe that would complement Mom's "Baked Chicken" recipe, and found this in my recipe binder. When I made them, they were delicious!

Servings: 4

Ingredients
2 large baking potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
4 slices bacon (I used the other half the bag of bacon pieces I bought for the chicken)
1/4 cup low-fat ranch dressing
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions
1 Bake potatoes in 400°F oven until tender (45-60 minutes).
2 Cook bacon until crisp; pat dry and crumble.
3 Drain almost all fat from bacon pan and cook onion until soft.
4 Cut baked potatoes in half.
5 Scoop out potatoes leaving 1/4" shell.
6 Mash potatoes until smooth and mix in dressing, cheese, bacon and onion.
7 Spoon mixture back into skins.
8 Bake at 350°F until heated through.
9 Broil for 2-3 minutes to brown lightly.
