Cheesy Ranch Potatoes are a comforting and creamy side dish featuring tender, baked russet potatoes coated in a tangy sour cream and Ranch seasoning mixture, topped with melted cheddar cheese. Perfectly baked until golden and bubbly, these potatoes are ideal for family dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 5–7 medium russet potatoes, cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter, thinly sliced

Cheese & Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 envelope Ranch seasoning mix
  • 1–2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Place the cubed russet potatoes evenly in a greased 9″x13″ baking dish to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. Add Butter: Distribute the thinly sliced butter over the potatoes to add richness and help tenderize during baking.
  3. Bake Potatoes: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Mix Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, softened cream cheese, and Ranch seasoning mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine & Top: Stir the Ranch cream mixture into the baked potatoes ensuring they are evenly coated, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Notes

  • Use russet potatoes for the best texture and ability to soak up flavors.
  • The amount of cheddar cheese can be adjusted based on your preference for cheesiness.
  • Covering the dish during the initial bake prevents the potatoes from drying out.
  • For a crispier top, broil the dish for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
