Pretty good. I used all low fat ingredients with success. The dish was still flavorful. Will probably make again sometime. Thanks.

my husband really enjoyed this dish. i halved the recipe, and used crushed crackers on top instead of the cornflakes (not a big cornflake topping fan!). i found the cook time to be excessive, i only had it in the oven 15 mins and it was bubbling away. i think if it was left in the oven for 45 mins as stated it would really dry out. as i had cooked my potatoes in the water to desired tenderness before putting the casserole in the oven, you're only really heating the dish through, not cooking anything anyway. all in all it wasn't bad - nothing super special but a change from the ordinary. thank you!

I am going to be one of those people that changes the recipe and then states her opinion- I know, me too.... Anyway I didn't have red potatoes so I used yellow and scaled back the recipe for 4 servings. Cubed the raw potato thru it in an oven safe casserole dish sprinkled with fresh ground pepper and two crisp crumbled bacon strips. Mixed sour cream, 1/4 Cup ranch dressing powder and cheese in a small bowl. Poured over potatoes and mixed thoroughly. Covered and cooked for 1 hour in a 325 oven (I was roasting a chicken at that temp). Didn't use topping. THIS WAS SO GOOD! NOT DRY AT ALL!

I thought this was delicious! My whole family loved them too! The only thing I would do different is to add salt and pepper on the potatoes before adding the ranch mixture.I'll definately be making this again!

I gave this 4 stars only because I Started out with this recipe but didnt exactly follow. I actually boiled the potatoes too long so I couldnt bake them. I took all the ingridients minus the corn flakes and mashed the potatoes and they were SOOOO good like that. I also added extra cheese and bacon in them. They made awesome mashed potatoes

I LOVED this recipes, but DH wasn't a fan (probably the ranch dressing). The cornflakes gives it such a nice crunchy topping. I will definitely make this one for potlucks!

My husband loved this! I too used a combination of extra sour cream (about 1 1/3 cup total) and a HALF PACKET of Ranch dip mix in leiu of the ranch dressing due to what I did (and didn't) have on hand. We are eating on a pretty tight grocery budget so this was our main course tonight-- a lead sinker! A definite keeper!

This is a great starter recipe! I was a little unsure about this recipe due to the lack of seasoning, but I made it as directed. It came out pretty good, but kind of bland. Next time I make it I'm going to add the basic salt and pepper (that every recipe should have!), some minced onion and maybe a handful of sliced green onions. YUM!! Just like a loaded baked potato.

I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! It was delicious. Although I used more ranch, sour cream, cheese and bacon then was called for. It was awesome.

My friend and I love making this dish for our boyfriends. We add a lot more bacon and a lot more cheese for the boys. Not the healthiest potato dish...but definitely the yummiest!

I used one 2lb bag of frozen southern style poatoes instead of peeling and cooking potatoes, tasted good and was faster. Next time I will not add parsely. I don't like cooked parsley and it didn't look that good in it. I will also use more cheese. Overall it isn't too bad.

My boyfriend and I both adored these potatoes! I will definitely, definitely make them again. My grocery store had a small bag of fingerling potatoes, which I used instead of red potatoes. There were small purple potatoes in the mix that gave the dish a nice, hearty color. I also added some french fried onions to the crunchy topping. It was a hit!

VERY HEAVY! The first time I had them my Mom made them and while they tasted good, I could hear my heart saying mercy. I made these last week for a poluck and I tweaked it. I used 2/3 cup fat free sour cream, used 2/3 cup fat free sour cream (instead of bottled dressing) and used 2 packets of Ranch dry seasoning mix, used 2% cheddar cheese, Used the precooked bacon pieces (less calories and fat then fresh bacon)added 3 tbsp's minced garlic to the mix and used Land O Lakes light butter with Canola Oil (in small tub) in place of butter. It tasted a little different then the orginal but was still DELISH!!!!!! Cut the fat & calories by over a 1/3 and there was none left. I have added dill or chives or green onions also, to help flavor them up! had many people ask for the recipe. I gave them the original version and mine!
