I tend to use Hidden Valley products often in my recipes, therefore it was easy to experiment and come up with this "scrumptious" tasting potato casserole.

6 -8 medium red potatoes, scrubbed clean
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup ranch salad dressing (not dry powder)

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 cup cheddar cheese

  • In a small bowl, combine the corn flakes and butter; sprinkle over the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh potatoes, vegetables, and herbs will give your casserole the best flavor.

  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give your casserole a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: You can add different vegetables, herbs, and spices to your casserole to create a unique flavor.
