Cornflake Potatoes

Red potatoes are constantly on our menu.  We started with Crock Pot Loaded Red Potatoes, then made Loaded Smashed Potato Casserole, now we can’t stop thinking about the flavor that ranch dressing packs in this casserole!

I also love the crunch and contrast that cornflakes add when sprinkled on top!  A few common ingredients mixed together makes a memorable casserole.

Red potatoes tossed in sour cream, ranch, bacon and cheddar cheese topped with more cheese and buttery cornflakes is delicious!  These flavors go great with a basic salad and meat like Slow Cooker Applesauce Meatloaf, Farmhouse Meatloaf, or Applesauce Meatballs.

We have a family debate going in our house about this potato casserole.  My husband thinks the recipe is perfect.  He loves the ranch accent and how well all of the flavors compliment each other.

I think the recipe needs a little more bacon and cheese.  He acknowledges that I love cheese more than the average person.  Out of respect to his palate, I’d like to share the Red Potato Ranch Casserole with you.

If your palate prefers more savory cheese and bacon then be sure to give this Twice Baked Potato Casserole.  That’s how we handle kitchen conflict resolution in our house, keep a variety of great recipes on hand and take turns making them all!

We also love using red potatoes to make simple and classic Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes.

How to Make Ranch & Red Potato Casserole

  1. Wash potatoes and cut into large bite size pieces.  Cook potatoes until tender.
  2. Combine cornflakes and melted butter, set aside for cornflakes to absorb butter.
  3. Mix potatoes with sour cream, ranch, bacon and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.  Spread into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  4. Top with remaining cheese.  Sprinkle cornflake mixture over casserole.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 – 30 minutes.

Cheesy Red Potato Casserole

Our family raises pigs, turkeys, and cattle for pork, turkey and beef.  We are meat eaters and potatoes are the classic side dish.  So we’ve made a wide variety of potato sides dishes over the years.  We found this recipe in a farm magazine and adapted it to fit our family’s needs

Here are a few other of our favorite potato side dishes that we hope you enjoy as much as we do!

  • Easy Creamy Mashed Potatoes
  • Farmhouse Potato Salad
