"RANCH POTATOES"

Really good with a steak!

8 large red potatoes
1 cup ranch salad dressing
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cut potatoes into quarters.  Place in a large saucepan.  Cover with water and bring to a boil.  Cook until potatoes are tender; drain.

Meanwhile, combine ranch, sour cream, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and bacon in a large bowl.  Add potatoes and salt; stir well.

Spoon potato and bacon mixture into a medium baking dish.  Top with remaining cheese.

Bake potatoes until bubbly, about 20 minutes.   YIELD:  4 servings
