This recipe is really good and can be modified to anyone's taste. Measuring things is strictly optional. Bacon ranch dressing works really well and add some bacon bits too.

This is a keeper! I used a cheddar/monteray cheese mix and only 4 T. of butter. If you really want to add some taste and calories throw in some crumbled bacon on top. Update: Even better with red potatoes!

It was ok. I think cottage cheese would have been less oily. Next time I make this I am going to mix powdered ranch into some cottage cheese and add that to the potatoes, along with some onions. Way too oily, and I didn't add butter, used pam.

Mmmmmm! I didn't have any problem with my potatoes being greasy like so many other reviewers but I did forget to cover them the first 40 minutes of baking so maybe that helped. I didn't have co-jack so I used a Mexican blend figuring it tied in with the chili powder. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good, but a little greasy from the butter and cheese.

Awesome, awesome, awesome- best ranch potatoes I've ever made! (and I've tried a lot) I followed some member reviews and pick and chose what I liked. I would recommend tossing in a couple of TBS of EVOO and drizzling half the butter. I also added garlic powder. Absolutely delicious!

OK - easy and inexpensive for a pot luck. Nothing spectacular, could add crumbled bacon and it would probably make it much better.

This is excellent! I decided to rate it since this is my 4th time to make it (I was looking up the recipe) This is my husband's new favorite way to have potatoes.

A little too rich and salad dressig taste for us. Maybe I'll try it next time with 4 oz ranch dressing and 4 oz plain yogurt. A great idea, though, thanks!

Served this for a BBQ and everyone loved it. I used red potatoes and left the skin on. Completely omitted the butter, and didn't miss it at all. Will defintely be making again.

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 was 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.
