Definitely a crowd-pleaser, but it was much heavier than I typically prefer. It can easily be made with half the butter, low-fat cheese, and low-fat ranch. Nobody misses a thing!

Awesome!!! Tried this on my hubby and kids first, they gave it a thumbs up. Next I made this for a huge family party and everyone raved about and wanted the recipe. The only change I made was using peeled redskin potatoes - I just think they hold up better to the the baking process than the russets. We needed a new potatoe dish and this was just what the doctor ordered!!!

Husband and I loved this dish, my picky 10 year old didn't, but I'm not sure if he actually tried it or just looked at and decided (which he does quite often). I did change one thing, instead of using butter, I mixed the potatoes and seasonings in a ziplok bag with olive oil - I wanted to make it a little healthier.

Made this for a church pot-luck today.....I, my husband, and my 2 year old all thought this was excellent (I peeled the potatoes and followed the directions exactly). I didn't hear any comments, but judging from the empty dish....everyone else must have liked it, too!

No offense, I may have done something wrong, however, at the suggestion of another reviewer, I tried these as they were "better than the creamy au gratin potatoes (which I found hard to believe). My daughter and I found these to be not only unattractive but a extremely mushy and just not to our liking. But, that's just us.

As is - I gave it 4 stars. It was very yummy but swimming in butter when all was said and done - YOU DEFINITELY NEED LESS BUTTER! I loved its flavor - but literally served it with a slotted spoon to drain some of the butter off each serving. Next time - 1/2 the butter for sure! The flavors were delicious though and I will make it again.

This was a big hit at a b-day party I went to this pass weekend for a 7 year old. All ages went back for more. I use bacon ranch dressing and crumbled bacon on top.

These were good. I left the skins on my potatoes and wished that I'd peeled them. The potatoes were tender after only 45 minutes....too done really, and I was worried that I'd cut the chunks too big. I only used 4 tablespoons of butter and it was still greasy. Good flavor though and such an easy recipe. We all enjoyed them. I think that if I cut the butter down further, peel my potatoes and cut the baking time down more, this is a dish that I would use for company or potlucks. Thanks for the recipe.

This was really good! I just need to remember to read ALL reviews before trying something - was definately a little too greasy and I should have left the skins on because the potatoes were a litte mushy. Overall a great recipe though, thanks!

This recipe was a huge hit! I cut down on the butter a little. I made this for dinner and my husband asked me to make it again in two days! Everyone has asked for this recipe. It is awesome. Thanks!

WOW! This are great! My husband goes crazy for them every time I make them. I cut the recipe down to 4 servings & used: 1 1/4 lb potatoes, 1/2 t chili powder, 1/4 t salt, 1/8 t pepper. 1/3 C cheese, 1/3 C Ranch & no butter I just sprayed the pan with cooking spray. Very delicious. I make this with BBQ pork. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

I already reviewed this once, I just wanted to add a suggestion -- instead of using plain Ranch dressing, try one of the flavored varieties now available. I used "Spicy" last time I made this, and it was delicious!

Delicious and easy--you will not be disappointed! After reading several reviews with tweaking suggestions, here is what I did to produce the delectable result: I cubed red potatoes, leaving the skin on. I cut the butter amount by 1/3, and sautéed 1/2 cup chopped onion in it until softened. I then added the seasonings, and poured the mixture over the potatoes in the casserole dish, tossing to coat. After baking, I added 1/4 real bacon bits, along with the cheese and dressing, to the potatoes. The dish accompanied charcoal grilled hamburgers--a VERY tasty meal! I will definitely make this potato dish again and again.
