Cheesy Ranch Potatoes
An easy and versatile side dish that everyone will rave about for days.
Servings: 4 servings
- 2 lbs potatoes diced (I used unpeeled red potatoes)
- 1-2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or melted butter or a combination of both
- Seasonings of your choice: I use salt pepper and garlic powder. You could swap in seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, taco seasoning or your favorite spice blend
- 1/4 cup Ranch dressing or to taste
- 1-2 cups cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
- Chopped green onion bacon crumbles and/or sour cream (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking dish with non-stick spray.
Add diced potatoes to baking dish. Season with your preferred spices. Add extra virgin olive oil or butter and mix together until thoroughly combined. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake until potatoes are tender, approximately 50-60 minutes.
Stir in Ranch dressing.* Top with shredded cheese and bake until cheese is melted and gooey, another 5 minutes.
Top with green onions and bacon crumbles, if adding. Serve with sour cream or french onion dip on the side.
* If you plan to use some of the potatoes for another dish, I recommend setting aside that portion before you add the ranch dressing and cheese. Depending on what you plan to make, the cheese, for example, could get burnt if you’re making a potato hash.
