Ranch Potato Casserole

Ok, so this doesn't really qualify anywhere on the healthy scale, but it's just really good either hot or cold. I originally found it in a magazine but since lost the recipe, so this is kindof how I remember it. You could probably find it on the web somewhere.

Ranch potato casserole

  • Red potatoes; up to 8
  • ½ cup Sour cream
  • ½ cup ranch salad dressing
  • ¼ cup Bacon bits or cooked & crumbled bacon
  • 2 tb Minced parsley
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese; shredded
  • ½ cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup Melted butter
  • 2 cups Lightly crushed corn flakes

Cook potatoes until tender. Quarter (leave skins on) and set aside. Combine sour cream, dressing, bacon, parsley, and 1 cup cheese. Place potatoes on greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Pour sour cream mixture over potatoes and gently toss. Top with 1/2 cup of cheese. Combine corn flakes and butter. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

I usually use my own bacon bits from real bacon, but it's up to you. To make this a bit healthier, I've stirred in 1/4 cup bran (looks like really fine sawdust) for some extra fibre.
