Last week, I was walking through the grocery store when I noticed their 10 lb bag of potatoes on sale. I grabbed one and that night, made my Mississippi mud potatoes! Huge hit! Fast forward a few days later, I still had tons of potatoes left in that bag. Since my family loves their potato sides, I decided to change things up and make this cheesy ranch version.
After the potatoes were tender from cooking in the oven, I put the sour cream/ranch sauce on top, sprinkled a little cheese, and baked for a bit longer. The end result was fabulous! Packed with flavor, the perfect side dish, and quick to prep…..I’d call that a success!
Leftovers are just as yummy!! Garnish with some bacon and you have a side dish that your family will love!!
Enjoy!
