We loved the flavor that the ranch dressing gave the potatoes. I followed the amounts exactly except I only added 4 oz of cream cheese. It was perfect for us....creamy and a great flavor. A nice change of pace for mashed potatoes. Thank you so much, Junebug.

Wonderful, rich and creamy potatoes. I served these with Recipe#207565, it was a great meal! My family really enjoyed these, the ranch gives them a nice tangy flavor and the cream cheese makes them rich and smooth. I also only added half of the cream cheese and added a couple tablespoons of sour cream. Thanks, I will be making these again!

We loved these, hubby especially! I added more milk to get to the right consistency and omitted the salt altogether. Delicious! Thanks for a keeper Junebug!

This was very good. I used 1/2 a package of cream cheese as another reviewer said. I didn't have any ranch dressing mix, but I used 1/4 cup of garlic ranch dressing and some added oregano. Very yummy. Will be making it again!

YUM! My family LOVED these potatoes! I halfed the recipe & there was plenty leftover for bubble & squeak the next day ;) It went well with PanNan's Country Baked Chicken I made to go with it (#99669). This recipe is something I would love to make again & again. Thanks JuneBug :)
