This casserole is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few extra potatoes lying around after making mashed potatoes, and this is a great way to use them up.

This recipe was easy to follow and the casserole turned out great. I used a store-bought ranch dressing mix to save time, and it still tasted delicious.
