The recipe was missing some key instructions. I had to guess how to do some of the steps.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my potato bites turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

The potato bites were good but the ranch dip was too sour for my taste. I would recommend using a different dip.

These cheesy potato bites were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and they melted together perfectly. The ranch dip was also delicious and complemented the potato bites perfectly.
