I made this for dinner last night with Best Ever Chicken. Very good recipe. I used white potatoes and substituted bacon bits for real bacon. I would recommend not adding the cornflake topping until it is halfway done.

My family loved this, and my grandmother is a very picky eater!

A perfect side dish. You can never go wrong with anything having to do with Ranch. Very tasty...I seasoned with a little bit of salt as well! Great recipe!

Sorry didn't like this much. The cornflake topping was nice (I didn't use the butter) but the potatoes were dry & tasteless. I even added a whole cup of milk to the ranch mixture before cooking the potatoes but they were still dry. Won't be trying this one again.

I also used Yukon Gold potatoes like another reviewer did, mainly because they were all I had on hand. I followed the recipe exactly (other than the kind of potatoes) including the boiling, and they still came out dry and unflavorful, even with the ranch dressing, bacon, and cheese. It smelled absolutely fantastic while it was cooking, so it was hugely disappointing for them to end up tasting so blah once they came out of the oven. I didn't see anything about salting the potatoes while they were boiling, could that have been the problem? I didn't add any, as the recipe didn't call for it, and it seemed like none was needed...until after we tasted them. After cooking, no amount of salt made them better. If I try this recipe again with the 'right' potatoes, I will gladly add a new review if the difference is dramatic.

loved it! made a meal with broiled steak, baked onions and this baked potato casserole. The steak and the onion recipe are both from this site.

This is a yummy one. I've been making this for years, and call it Ranch Potato Casserole. It's sooo tasty! Last time I made it, I had fresh basil and not parsley so I used that. It was still good! I've tried it with low-fat ingredients and it's just not as good....so I only make it for special occasions!

Made this for the first time today... and can only say PHENOMINAL....I did make some minor modifications to this though, mainly for personal taste... The modifications are for a doubled recipe and was served at a ministry BBQ, had I known that it was going to go over as well as it did I would have actually quadrupled the recipe and still would not have had any left-overs.. 1) replaced the cheddar cheese with 2 7 oz bags of Sargentos Bistro Blends, one Asiago and roasted garlic and one Sundried Tomato and Basil, The Asiago went in with that sour cream mixture, the other was mixed in with the topping... I replaced the bacon with diced pancetta and added 1/4 Walla Walla Sweet Onion and 1 Tsp of minced garlic Used bacon ranch instead of plain ranch... Replaced the Parsley with Fresh Chives Drizzled the melted butter over the topping rather than mixing it in with the cheese and cornflake mixture... I will definitely make this again, but will change a couple of items even further I will reduce the amount of cornflakes in the topping and not add them until the last 15 minutes of baking time... The only thing I did not like about this was the layer of grease on the bottom of the dish as it was being served. This could be avoided by using a thin layer of the cornflakes on the bottom of the baking dish to absorb it.

I used Yukon Gold potatoes that were rather large, so I zapped them in the microwave until done. The ranch/sour cream mixture didn't seem to be enough, so the whole dish was dry, but maybe boiling the potatoes would have solved that problem. My husband also ate almost all the corn flakes and I didn't realize it until I went to use them, so I substituted plain bread crumbs and the topping looked fine. Overall, pretty good, and I think I'll give it another try - this time as written!
