Ranch Potatoes

Okay I am going to try and get pictures of the field work today.  Hopefully I can get out of the pit/cellar to do it.  But here is one of my favorite recipes.  Some friends of mine, Ida and Heather, introduced this recipe to my family when I was in High School.  I must say coming to Idaho where potatoes are divine, this recipe is amazing.  The whole town of Newdale loves them.  I hope you enjoy too.

Ranch Potato Casserole  (Favorite)

6-8 Medium Potatoes                                       ¼ C Crumbled Bacon or Bacon Bits

½ C sour cream                                                2 Tbs. minced parsley

½ C prepared Ranch style dressing                   1 C Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Cook potatoes until tender, either boil (faster) or in oven (better).  Quarter leaving skins on and set aside.  Combine sour cream, dressing, bacon, parsley, and cheese.  Mix potatoes in sour cream mixture.  Put into greased 9x13 pan.  Top with cheese and bacon bit.  Parsley for garnish.  Cook at 350° for 40-45 min. 

*Can put crushed corn flakes and butter on top if desired.
