Recipe: Ranch Potatoes (using ranch salad dressing, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and bacon)

RANCH POTATOES

8 large red potatoes
1 cup ranch salad dressing
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided use
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon*
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut potatoes into quarters. Place in a large saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain well.

Meanwhile, combine salad dressing, sour cream, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, and bacon in a large bowl. Add potatoes and salt; stir well.

Spoon potato and bacon mixture into a medium baking dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake potatoes until bubbly, about 20 minutes.

*If you are in a hurry, reach for store-bought bacon bits. Use the same amount as freshly cooked bacon.

VARIATION:
Add a little color to the potatoes by mixing in 1/4 cup chopped green onions with the bacon.
