  1. This was not at all what I would have expected! I didn't put too much ranch dressing for fear that it would consume the dish, so I lightly covered the potatoes. This was really good - different and tasty. i had my reservations but I will definitely make this again!! Thanks!
     
  2. This recipe was very good, but I tend to get lazy, especially when cooking for a lot of people. I tossed the sliced potatoes with the ranch dressing and the cheddar cheese, and after putting it into the pan I topped with some real bacon bits and chopped green onions. Tastes like a loaded baked potato.
     
  3. Just made this for dinner and it was delicious! I used reduced fat ranch dressing and lower fat cheese (simply because that was on hand) and it was great. I'll make this again!
     
  4. These were easy and tasty. Next time I think I will make them with white-skinned potatoes and yellow onions. I think they will be just as good and these are staples I normally have on hand. Nice flavor though--definitely a make-again.
     
  5. Nice and tangy. I doubled the recipe since there were five of us and we all have big appetites! One guy had 3 helpings...made this for 'Zaar day. Next time I might add a little bit of garlic, but since my main course was garlic pork roast I didn't bother.

  1. This was very good. I cooked it in a 1.5 quart greased casserole dish. Instead of going to the trouble of boiling potatoes, I used two 15 ounce cans of diced potatoes (drained). I also used yellow onion instead of red because that's what I had on hand. I added about a teaspoon of the pre-chopped garlic from a jar and used about 1/4 - 1/3 of a cup of ranch. Stirred it altogether and baked for about 20 min. Then added about a cup of shredded cheese on top and finished cooking it. I cooked it at about 400 degrees. Nice flavor and will be making it again. Thanks for the recipe.
