Description
These Cheesy Ranch Scalloped Potatoes are the ultimate creamy, comforting side dish. Made with just a few ingredients like ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced potatoes, they’re perfect for weeknights or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing*
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded (8 oz), divided
- 3 lbs russet potatoes (about 5 large), peeled and thinly sliced (less than 1/8″ thick)
- 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the ranch dressing, mayonnaise, milk, minced garlic, and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the sliced potatoes and toss until all slices are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
- Spread the coated potato slices evenly in the prepared casserole dish, pressing gently to level. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 65–75 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes. For a golden, crispy cheese crust, broil on high for 2–3 minutes, watching closely.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes before garnishing with chopped chives and serving.
Notes
- *Use homemade ranch or your favorite refrigerated store-bought brand. You can also use powdered ranch mix prepared according to the package instructions.
- For best results, slice potatoes evenly and as thin as possible.
- Resting after baking allows the sauce to thicken and flavors to develop.
