ingredients
- 10 medium russet potatoes, peeled and halved
- 118.29 ml butter, cut into cubes
- 226.79 g package cream cheese, cut into cubes and softened
- 236.59 ml sour cream
- 28.34 g hidden valley dry ranch dressing mix (start with 1/2 package adding in more to taste)
- milk (optional and as needed for extra creaminess, or use whipping cream) (optional)
directions
- Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender; drain and place in a large bowl.
- To hot potatoes add in cubed butter, cream cheese, sour cream and 1/2 package dry dressing mix; at low speed using an electric mixer beat until until the potatoes are semi chunky (low speed only to start as the potatoes are hot).
- Continue beating at HIGH speed until the potatoes are smooth and very fluffy.
- At this point do a taste-test if you desire a more stronger ranch flavor then add in more dry dressing mix until desired flavor is achieved, you may also add in milk or whipping cream for a more creamy taste (start with a small amount and add in more).
- TO MAKE AHEAD; spread the potato mixture into a greased 13 x 9-inch pan and refrigerate up to 1 day, remove from fridge about 1 hour before baking, then set oven to 350°F and bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until hot.

Oh, Kitt. You have never disappointed! This was the first time I have done anything fancier than fresh roasted garlic in my mashed potatoes & they were so delicious. I used about 2/3 of the ranch packet & served with a roasted pork tenderloin & steamed veggies. We'll be making this recipe again. Made & reviewed for Kitt's Cookathon. :)
