I know, another cheesy potato dish. But this is simple, basically, a guideline for the staple dish. I made this with minimal "whatever was on hand" ingredients while at camp one weekend and make it all the time now! Simple, quick and absolutely awesome! There are a lot of similar recipes like and but the variations are endless.

Ingredients

1 hour
6 servings
  1. 5medium potatoes
  2. 1medium onion
  3. 1/4 cupHellman's mayo
  4. 1 packetdry ranch dressing mix
  5. 1 cupcheddar (or your cheese of choice)
  6. 1 tbsp.dried parsley
  7. Salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. 2

    Chop potatoes into small cubes. Add to a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Finely chop onion (and fresh parsley if using that instead of dried parsley).

  4. 4

    Add onions and ranch dressing packet to potatoes, mix well.

  5. 5

    Add mayo, cheese, salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Add mixture to a well oiled covered, vented casserole dish (I like using an iron skillet and covered it with vented foil). It must be vented or it will come out too wet!

  7. 7

    Bake 45 minutes.

  8. 8

    Uncover and bake 10-15 more minutes.

  9. 9

    Let sit for 5 minutes and serve!

  10. 10

    Many variations are possible. Replace the mayo with sour cream. Use crumbled blue cheese instead of cheddar. Add bacon bits or even jalapenos or green peppers. Top with scallions. Try different ingredients but keep it simple. I didn't use butter in this recipe because it makes it too oily. Don't let the mayo fool you if you're not a fan of it. It's a useful and flavorful ingredient for many recipes. Use frozen potatoes if you wish and always have a bag in the freezer for a quick fix.

  11. 11

    If you use ready made ranch dressing, leave out the mayo or it will be too oily. Try White Vermont Cheddar or even add Gruyere for a distinctive flavor.
