Easy Au Gratin-Ish Potatoes W/ Ranch!

Submitted by FiaNia

"I had potatoes I needed to use and wanted an easy no fuss recipe that was tasty. Most au gratin potatoes require added flour and milk but these don't. I'd like to think these are a little healthier! If nothing else, they're super tasty!"

5. Evenly coat the bottom of the dutch oven with half of the potatoes.
