Tasty potatoes! I made these to go along with Recipe#117313 and it was a good combo. I halved the recipe and decreased the amounts of the ingredients quite a bit. I used only 2 strips of bacon cooked and crumbled and used about a third of a cup of ranch dressing just thinking even for a half batch 1 1/2 cups would be way too much for our tastes, ranch being so strong to begin with. I decreased the amount of cheese as well because I used a sharp cheddar and maybe used a quarter cup was all, plus a little extra for the topping before baking. This is an easy recipe to follow and I did use all the ingredients as written except for the extra butter on top and scaling back the amounts as a pesonal preference. Thanks for sharing your recipe :) Made for PAC Spring 09
