Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Red potatoes
- 1 cup Ranch dressing
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden on the edges.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to the prepared baking dish and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth.
Pour the ranch mixture evenly over the potatoes, making sure they are well coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese on top for an extra layer of cheesiness.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
