Thanks goes to Lydia for finding this delicious recipe a few years ago, 

and making it regularly for our family.

(And I think it is one of Richie's favorites now, too! ;-)

(I'll post the recipe for the yummy Barbeque Glazed Chicken in a separate post.)

Ingredients:

4 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch cubes 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 tablespoons butter, cubed 1 (8 ounce) package shredded colby -Monterey Jack cheese blend 1 (8 ounce) bottle Ranch dressing

Directions:

1.	Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2.	Place the potatoes in the baking dish. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Evenly distribute the butter over the potatoes.
