Baked Potato Stuffing

"This is courtesy of the Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix Contest hosted at our local fair last week. This was the first place winning recipe. With the holidays around the corner, I thought it was a perfect time to post. This is always a huge hit and I always get asked for the recipe....it is sooo easy and very flavorful; you don't really need gravy over these potatoes. When I double this for a larger crowd, this fits nicely in a 13x9 casserole dish."

  • In a large saucepan, bring butter, water and salt to a boil; remove.
  • Add milk and potato flakes, mix well.
  • Stir in 3 cups of croutons, celery and Hidden Valley mix.
  • Transfer to casserole dish and top with remaining croutons; bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
  • *If using cheese, remove from oven and add cheese; return to oven until cheese is melted.

  1. My family ate this pretty well. I was very happy with it, but I think that next time I will only add 1/2 of the ranch package as it seemed a little too salty. But it will be made again. I am also wondering how it would taste with Italian dressing mix.....hmmmmmm Thanks Tara

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
