Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dice 1 kg of potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a baking dish, dot with 3-4 tablespoons of butter, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and optional seasonings. Toss gently.
  2. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 50-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Remove the foil and drizzle ½ cup of ranch dressing over the potatoes. Sprinkle 1-2 cups of shredded cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  4. For a crispy topping, broil for 30-60 seconds, watching closely to prevent burning.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
