Twisted Ranch Baked Potato Casserole

Submitted by CoffeeB

"This is an excellent twist on the usual baked potatoes. Take your left-over baked potatoes from Sunday's dinner and make into a fabulous side for a week-day meal. Very tasty. (I use redskins and don't peel them after baking). The serving amount is a guess."

really I would love to rate this more that 5 stars, this is so delicious! I used didn't measure the onion I just used one small, and also added in 2 green onions, the ranch dressing brings out so much great flavor to this potato casserole, after baking I sprinkled the top with cheddar cheese and allowed to melt, served this with cabbage rolls and bacon wrapped chicken for a fantastic Sunday dinner thank you Sue I will be making this again soon, this was made for KK's Chef Pick tag gaem

What a sinful dish. This was great. I made a double batch for Thanksgiving and glad I did. I used a pound of turkey bacon and that worked well. A bit time consuming baking the potatoes and the bacon, but all worth it. Easy to make and delicious. Thanks for posting!

This recipe is fantastic! I made it per recipe except I added some Parmesan cheese to the other ingredients and also microwaved my potatoes. You couldn't ask for better potato dish.

Other than having this made with onions on one half, made as posted. This was a nice way to use uo some baked potatoes, and we enjoyed it. The bacon really came out, as it added to the fantastic flavors. ( i used bacon bits). Great recipe :). Made for Zaar Stars.

Wow!!! Is this the best or what? My son saw someone on tv make something like this and wanted me to try to duplicate it. I did a search on here and found this recipe and I'm so glad I made it. It is perfect just as written and tastes simply divine. Thanks so much for sharing.
