Michael's Granny's Sour Cream Taters
"This is the way my Mom does Red New Potatoes. My son absolutely LOVES these. Every time he goes to Granny's house, she has to make this for him. *If you can make the sour cream mix a day ahead, and refrigerate it, it's even better! **Use the Hidden Valley Ranch ORIGINAL BUTTERMILK Ranch Dressing mix. It makes a difference!"

A great potato recipe!! Made to go with steak and the potatoes turned out delicious!! I did add some bacon bits I had leftover from a salad I was making and that was good too. Will definitely make again and this time I will leave out the bacon bits. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! -
This was certainly different, my kids were a little leery with a new tasting potato dish. But it was very good and easy to make. The sauce was very nice and tasty and I like the subtle flavor of the ranch, it wasn't over powering at all like I thought it might be. -
We found this dish to be very creamy. I had to cook it a little longer so the sauce would thicken up a bit. This was a good side dish with the grilled shrimp we had for dinner tonight. Thanks for the great recipe! -
I have used a similar recipe but it uses cream instead of evaporated milk, and the buttermilk ranch dressing I couldnt find so I used low fat,ranch dressing and I noticed no difference, not that I know the difference because I have not tasted it with the butttermilk one!!! As a matter of fact I used low fat evaporated milk, and it still tasted great!! Thanks Bert's Kitchen Witch. -
Made up your recipe using small red-skinned potatoes. Love that creamy sauce, can see why your son does too. ZWT3 Zingo Wanted to tell you, Trace, but almost forgot, these were even better the next day when I coarsely mashed them to serve with pan-fried steaks...yum! That cream sauce worked its way into all the nicks and crannies and it was like a whole new dish!

Recently moved to New Mexico from South-East Texas. What can I say, I LOVE to cook! My screen name came from my husband Bert. He calls me his Kitchen Witch, because he says that I "make magic" in the kitchen.Bert works in Emergency Medicine in a local E.R.(That's what brought us here to New Mexico.) He has worked Emergency for about 27 years now, and I call him my "working class hero".(In reference to the John Lennon song.) I have 5 awesome children, 2 step-sons, 2 sons, and a daughter, who because she is the youngest and the only girl, thinks she is a princess.(oh no, she's not spoiled!) I come from a long line of people, on both sides of the family, who were wonderful and creative cooks. I guess that explains my love of cooking and feeding people.I truly get a thrill out of serving food to people who enjoy it.I also love to read, and consume books and information ravenously.I absolutely adore a great mystery.I also would have a hard time surviving without music! I like most all music, from The Beatles, to old Blues(Robert Johnson rocks!) ,to Loreena McKennitt,and Phoebe Snow.I am currently a house wife, due to our recent move.Before that, I worked for several years with abused children in an RTC.(Residential Treatment Center.) My pet peeves are small-minded,prejudiced,mean people and wastefulness. Growing up, my Father taught us that to waste food was a sin when there are so many people in the world starving.I guess that one really stuck with me.I love to meet people with common interests,so Zmail me any time!<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/Switzerland-FFF4.gif">
