Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake

SUBMITTED BY: JENNYBRIANNE PHOTO BY: ConnieJean

"This is a delicious side dish with cheese, potatoes, and Ranch! What's not to love?! I am always begged to bring this wherever I go. It is a great complement to a barbeque or any potluck meal. I have experimented with using more chili powder and using seasoning salt instead of regular salt."
