Oven Roasted Potato Goodness - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 -7 medium potatoes, washed and cubed
5 -6 tablespoons unsalted butter (Smart Balance works great, with or without Olive Oil)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, coarse
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (add a little cayenne if you want some heat)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, sharp (more if you like it cheesy)
4 -5 slices bacon, cooked crisp & crumbled
1/2 cup ranch dressing, I use hidden valley

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425.
While preparing potatoes add butter to a 9x13 dish and stick in the preheating oven to melt.
Remove melted butter, add salt & pepper and stir well. Add potates and toss to coat.
Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, stiring every 10 min to get a crispy outside and super tender inside.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cheese, top with crumbled bacon. Drizzle with dressing from one corner to the opposite corner diagonally in a zig-zag pattern.
Return to the oven until the cheese is melted. Careful not to leave to long as to dry out the dressing.
Enjoy! ;-D J.
