Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake

Cheesy Ranch Potato Bake

(4 servings)

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut 1/4 cubes

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons margarine, melted

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (more if you want extra cheesy!)

1/2 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix

combine chili powder and black pepper with melted margarine.

put potatoes in a baking dish and coat with melted margarine mixture.

cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.

mix together sour cream, Hidden Valley mix and cheese.

mix into the potatoes.

return to the oven, uncovered and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees

* To quicken this recipe:

bring potato cubes to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes.

put potatoes in a baking dish and coat with melted margarine mixture.

cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes (or until tender).

mix together sour cream, Hidden Valley mix and cheese.

mix into the potatoes.

return to the oven, uncovered and bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees

These came out pretty good.. the original recipe also called for 1/2 teaspoon of salt, which I did put.. but next time I will not add the salt since the Hidden Valley and cheddar cheese is salty enough.
