8 to 10 potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into ½-inch cubes

1 lb bacon, fried, drained, and chopped

1 cup ranch dressing

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

6 Tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 350 F. Boil the potato cubes until soft and drain. In a 9×13 pan, layer half the cooked potatoes and half the bacon. Place a few pats of butter on top, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add a layer of ranch dressing and cheese. Repeat the layers. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serves 10 to 12.
