Rated 3 out of 5 by srdoms from Let's be very honest on the cooking time and temperature! OK, I have made this before and it was not cooked through, and then this evening I tried to improve the hard, under cooked potatoes suggested in the recipe. The temperature must be 400 degrees. The cooking time must be 1 hour and 10 minutes. Yes, 70 minutes. I removed the foil at 45 minutes and then baked it uncovered for the remainder of time. (It is still not as good as Good Seasons Roasted Potatoes by Kraft with dry Italian mix. See my review on that site with added 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp pepper). This current recipe very oily and greasy. This web site makes it impossible to add photos! I have the finished products but unable to upload.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Donna55135 from This is a very tasty and wonderful dish to make. This is a very tasty and wonderful dish to make. One tip for this is that I used, if you can not find the Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits, then you can use Oscar Mayer Microwave Bacon, just cook it a few seconds longer than the package directions, it takes about 9 slices to make a 1/4 cup, if you cook 6 at a time, then cook them for 40 seconds, pat with a paper towel and let them cool a little before breaking them up, for 3 cook for 30-35 seconds, if you can not find the small red potatoes, then get the big ones but only use 1/2lb to 1lb and just keep on quartering them down. My whole family loved this dish!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by ladyshalott313 from I thought this was pretty good. I thought this was pretty good. I don't worry at all about calories or fat so I went ahead and used a lot of regular ranch dressing and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. I mixed them all together and added about a tablespoon of fresh chopped parsely. I spooned the mixture in a foil-lined baking dish (believe me, easy clean-up) and topped it with quartered slices (3-4) of raw bacon, then covered it up with foil. I baked it for about an hour on 400 degress but really just decided it was done when I could easily pierce the potatoes with a fork. The bacon was really tender and gave the potatoes a great flavor!

After reading the not-so-good ratings for this recipe, my boyfriend and I modified it and really enjoyed eating it with pork chops. Here's what we did: We washed and diced the red potatoes, boiled them for 10 minutes. Mixed 2 cans of cheddar cheese condensed soup with one can of milk, added 1 pkg. of the Oscar Myer bacon bits, One bag of regular mild cheddar cheese, and lightly folded in the potatoes. We baked them at 350 for 10 minutes covered with foil, and then 15 minutes uncovered. Anyone who didn't really care for the original recipe because of lack of flavor should try this one.

I made this without the bacon bits (didn't have them on hand) but instead added in sliced green onions (white parts only) with the dressing and cheese. When I removed the foil, I stirred in the green parts of the onions. This is a good idea for vegetarians. It was delicious. As others have said, it definitely needs to cook longer with the foil on. I cooked it 10 extra minutes without the foil and the potatoes were still "al dente." We enjoyed it anyway and I look forward to making it again. One other suggestion: since the cheese seemed to get lost, next time I will only add half of the cheese with the dressing and sprinkle the rest on when the foil comes off and it is baked for the additional time.

I par cooked the potatoes in the microwave then I put them in the pan, sprayed them with olive oil cooking spray, added some pepper, bacon bits, garlic powder and tossed. Then, I put it under the broiler to make them really brown and crispy when they were the way I liked them, I took them out then tossed with dressing and put the cheese on, back under the broiler to brown up the cheese. I LOVE potatoes and this is FANTASTIC!! I had to put the rest away so I didn't keep eating it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by chasing_two from This is the BEST potato dish EVER! This is the BEST potato dish EVER!! I've made it time and time again and even shared it with my friends. To those of you who don't like Ranch dressing and will skip over this recipe because of that, DON'T, give it a try. The ranch gives it a light zesty flavor but definitely isn't overwhelming. Depending on how big you cut the potatoes, you may need to cook it a little longer than directed. The only thing I did different was to fry my own bacon and chopped it up.

Don't know about the recipe - sounds good but when I went to print it out so I would have it to try there were going to be 5 pages! That is ridiculous!!! I used to be able to click somewhere on the page so I could print the recipe without extra stuff. I am disappointed..... I do NOT use my computer in the kitchen as a recipe book when I am cooking! Guess Kraft recipes my not be anything I use anymore. :-(
