I used Gold potatoes as suggested by some reviewers - one note would be to leave your potatoes in very big cubes/chunks - they cook so well in the hour that mine ended up too mushy when I added the ranch. Taste was still outstanding but the texture was like mashed potatoes...will definitely keep working on this one though! Thanks for the recipe!

Only reason I gave this 4 stars is because I think it called for more butter than necessary - a bit greasy - however, this were sinfully good and if you make a slight butter adjustment this are definately a 5.

These potatoes were good! I would recomemmend less ranch dressing (half a bottle instead of a whole one) and a little more seasoning, overall. Also, we used gold potatoes instead of russet ones, which turned out nicely. I will make this recipe again, only with the changes I listed above.

OMG! I made this tonight and it was sooooooo good! A definite crowd pleaser and kid friendly. I also used seasoned salt, and a Monterey Jack/cheddar mixture-all that I had on hand.

I mostly followed the recipe & took a few tips from the reviews. I reduced by half for our family size & used a 2 lb. bag of baby red potatoes because that was what I had on hand. I combined the dry seasonings in a small bowl, put the cubed potatoes in a ziploc & poured 2 tbsp. of melted butter on potatoes then added the seasoning mix. Much easier to make sure everything is coated that way. I also did follow the suggestion & substitute seasoned salt for regular. This recipe was very simple to make & flavorful. Thanks for sharing it!

Try using Gold Potatoes instead of russett. Since submitting this recipe a few years ago, I've switched to using Gold and I love it even more. I've also decreased the amount of butter to 3 tbsp. I've added in crumbled bacon a few times. I'm glad so many of you have liked it.

I loved this recipe. It gave a great twist on roasted potatoes. What I did different. In a freezer bag I put the Chili powder, Season salt ( did this as others suggested), Pepper and didn't have much butter, so I used 1 tablespoon of Vegetable oil then shook the bag to coat the potatoes. Followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Thank you for this recipe I will be using this one again.

YUMM! I added some sauted onions and it turned out great! Everyone wanted the recipe! Will be making this again!

I made this for a potluck and everyone was asking me for the recipe. I only use 1 tbspn of butter, I add a bit of garlic powder and I add bacon bits to the top right before serving for a bit of a crunch. Other than that I follow what the recipe asks for and its a bit hit!!

Husband said, "One of the few 5 stars he would give."

This recipe was great. I made a few additions but the basic concept is good. While the potatoes were in the oven, I cooked some bacon and then fried some onions in the bacon grease. I mixed the dressing and cheese into the potatoes and then topped it with the crumbled bacon and fried onions. I also added some diced jalapenos(jar) to the top because we're a spicy family. It was great.

AWESOME, thats the word to describe these potatoes. And so easy! Its just my husband and I so I bought 3 large idaho potatoes and used about 2 tb of butter a cup of cheese and just mixed in ranch until I was happy. Didn't use the chili poweder, neither of us likes spicy stuff. Mine did stick to the bottom, BAD. I even pamed it! Dunno what happened. So they were a bit mashed lol. Thanks for the great recipe, try it yall!

Very tasty. I used only 2 tbsp of melted butter, which was plenty. I also added crumbled bacon when I mixed in the ranch & cheese. I will definetly be making this again. I think next time I won't add so much chili powder.

I halved this recipe for my family of five (no leftovers.) Two large potatoes worked fine in a 9x11 pyrex dish. I used seasoned salt instead of plain, cut the butter down to 2 T., and added crumbled bacon with the Ranch & cheese.

This recipe is yummy! Would also be great with some added bacon.
