Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest. These baked ranch potatoes have just 4 ingredients and they're perfect for dinner; whether it's for the family or a party!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs baby red potatoes, unpeeled
- ½ cup buttermilk ranch or yogurt ranch dressing
- Garlic salt, to taste
- 1 to 1½ cups finely shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into 1″ to 1½″ pieces. Fill a 5 Qt pot half full with salted warm water (about 7 cups water and 1 tsp salt).
- Add potatoes and bring to a boil then cook at a low boil for 8-12 min depending on size of potatoes (they should be nearly done and should be fairly easy to pierce with a fork) Drain well.
- Drizzle ½ cup ranch dressing directly into the pot with drained potatoes and gently toss - just enough to coat evenly.
- Transfer potatoes into greased casserole dish. Sprinkle potatoes with garlic salt to taste.
- Bake uncovered at 400˚F for 20-25 minutes. Remove casserole from oven and set oven to broil.
- Sprinkle the top with 1 cup Mexican cheese blend, return to oven and broil for 2-3 min or until cheese is melted.
- It's perfectly ok to add more garlic salt at the end if you under-seasoned it the first time (speaking from experience).
