Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 or 6 medium red or gold potatoes, washed and cubed, peel if desired
1 medium onion, sliced
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
3 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp butter
1 large plastic steamer bag
1 1/2 c cheddar/jack cheese, shredded
1 - 2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
butter
real bacon pieces
sour cream
chopped green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Put oil into steamer bag. Add salt, pepper, parsley and seasonings. Close bag and mash bottom of bag to dissolve and distribute seasonings into oil, add a bit more oil if you need to.
  • 2. Add potatoes, onion and about a tablespoon of butter. Seal bag and cook on high in microwave for 7 minutes. If you are using a regular ziploc bag, just close the bag half-way to allow for steam to release.
  • 3. Carefully shake bag, cook 7 more minutes. Shake again and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
  • 4. Open bag (careful, it's steamy) and pour potatoes into serving bowl, add cheeses and butter, carefully - so as not to mash potatoes - mix to melt cheeses and butter into potatoes.
  • 5. Top with bacon pieces, sour cream or your choice of toppings.

I would have liked the potatoes to be a bit more crispy, but overall they were still very good.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.
