Bacon Ranch Potatoes

[harrypotterfreak2009]

I made these for dinner tonight and they were delicious! I only did one thing different - I put in a big spoonful of sour cream instead of the cottage cheese. Thanks for a yummy recipe :)

@JessicaPersonalChef These were very good!

[leisaanddirk]

I made these a couple of weeks ago and they were absolutely delicious! Thanks for another great recipe, Tammy!

[yoyomax12]

@leisaanddirk Thanks for letting me know you tried these! It's been a while since I made these, will have to revisit

[StarthatsBerry]

Cottage cheese makes me throw up when I eat it. I'm not allergic or anything it's just that I extremely dislike the taste and it feels icky in my mouth. What do I do? Or can u barely taste or feel it?

[yoyomax12]

@StarthatsBerry You can substitute another kind of cheese (like ricotta or marscapone) or blend the cottage cheese until it is smooth and you wont get the lumpy texture. The main flavour in this is the bacon and the ranch dressing.

[raineko98]

I made some of these last night.

By god that was a winsome meal.

[zilver90]

1 pound of bacon? I love you.

[yoyomax12]

@zilver90 Bacon should be food group, seriously :)

[adunahan]

yum!!! i'm glad i found your channel :)

[yoyomax12]

@adunahan So am I! :)

[theatergirl15]

Is there any substitute for onions in any of your recipies?

[yoyomax12]

@theatergirl15 Just leave them out and you will be fine. :)

[jasmine629]

can you use instant mashed potatoes?

[yoyomax12]

@jasmine629 Yes, they would be fine

[MrLiquidify]

@kooktocook It has bacon! One of our favourite foods. :)

[iambuglady]

i love mashed potatoes & those look incredible! probably 1000 calories per serving! great joke of the day Max ;)

[yoyomax12]

@iambuglady There are mega calories in these for sure. I should put a warning/disclaimer on them.

[macaronipop]

YUMMO!!!

mike

[yoyomax12]

@macaronipop Hey Mike!

[imperceptibleme]

That looks yummy!!! I gotta try it! haha. Hugs Tammy!

[yoyomax12]

@imperceptibleme Hi Melissa! Catching up on comments, I let things get away on me a bit!

[weightnC]

Max is losing his little boy look, for sure. Noah turns 9 next week. Crazy! Those look yummy, to yummy. I will avoid them ;). take care - jenn

[yoyomax12]

@weightnC It is crazy how fast the kids are growing!. These are to be eaten in very small bites on a tiny plate. .lol

[BlueFlamingoVlogs]

That looks delicious!

[yoyomax12]

@BlueFlamingoVlogs thanks Dwayne/Adrian

[TheChattagirl]

WoW! That really looks good!!!  My kids would love it!

[yoyomax12]

@TheChattagirl This is a kid friendly recipe for sure!

[daysioc]

Wow!

This looks delicious :)

[yoyomax12]

@daysioc thanks Daysi

[Esunshine71]

oh my god this is look so yumy

[yoyomax12]

@Esunshine71  Thanks!

[TheVittleVlog]

That is a great recipe...lots of flavor!!!

[yoyomax12]

@TheVittleVlog This is a very flavorful recipe, to be eaten in small quantities every once and I while! Thanks

[trvlbuggy]

what can be better than potatoes and bacon? looks good....i have made a similar recipe using cream cheese instead of the cottage cheese..... so so good......thanks for sharing

[yoyomax12]

@trvlbuggy Seriously, potatoes and bacon are just meant to be together! lol.

[PKZOreoLover]

is there anything eles i can use insted cottege chesse? but all in all it looks sooooooo good

[yoyomax12]

@PKZOreoLover You can leave out the cottage cheese completely or add half a package of cream cheese softened.

[yoyomax2]

I am sure Max must have loved these potatoes!

love you!

[yoyomax12]

@yoyomax2 Maxim did like these, he like the bacon and cheese the most though

[silverscreamgrl]

I saw a recipe for something like this and thought it has to be the most awesome stuff ever. Glad to see that it is as good as I thought ;)

Saw the headphones!

[yoyomax12]

@silverscreamgrl I will be bringing these to a potluck some day. I may make a scaled down version in the future with fewer potatoes and less bacon and cheese.

A whole pound of bacon is a lot!

Headphones yes! I was listening to the book 7 of the Harry Dresden series.

[Autumngirl24]

Cottage cheese..that threw me for a loop. But if you say it's good, I believe you! I will have to try this sometime, thanx for sharing the recipe/how-to!!

[yoyomax12]

@Autumngirl24 You can't taste the cottage cheese at all. If it totally grosses you out, then leave it out completely. I don't think it would be missed.

[anmoose]

Wow! Now if I can figure out how to cut that down to dinner for one with leftovers, rather than feeding the whole block... LOL! It looks and sounds awesome.

[yoyomax12]

@anmoose  I suggest that you make this but separate it into smaller container and freeze it if you want. This recipe can be easily cut in half as well.

[CountryComesToTown]

Tammy that looks delicious! I gained a pound just thinking about eating that whole bowl of goodness. LOL Love your cooking videos! -Jim

[yoyomax12]

@CountryComesToTown Thanks Jim, I'm hoping other people eat the leftovers!

[1DRock37167]

Oh YUM, I could just take that and rub it on my tummy. May as well cut out the middle man:-)

[yoyomax12]

@1DRock37167 This is not something you should eat twice a week for sure

[MerelyMandolin]

Yum! Cottage cheese:). And hey I have the cheddar flips crackers that are half pretzel, half cheese cracker which might work but I'm afraid it'd taste too salty.. What do you think?

[yoyomax12]

@MerelyMandolin I don't think they'd be too salty, the ritz crackers are salted and they were fine.

[feliciajuly]

Yum! Oh and I agree with the comment below - Canada's top cook!!!!

[yoyomax12]

@feliciajuly Thanks much!

[50gaby]

looks delicious

[yoyomax12]

@50gaby Thanks!

[shadow6326]

Tammy!! That looks delicious! Going to try this one for sure!! Thanks!!

[yoyomax12]

@shadow6326 This is a good "company" meal, something you'd make for a special occasion.

[thenudo]

You got my mouth watering Tammy!! Your Canada's top cook! :)

[yoyomax12]

@thenudo Thanks Tony!

[soonfully]

that was a yummy looking dish and I really liked that casserole dish havent seen anything like that in the states

[yoyomax12]

@soonfully I received that dish as a wedding present in 1995. It has a glass lid and a plastic one you can throw on to put it in the fridge. It is pretty but the design on the edge makes it a bit of a pain to clean up.

[thizizliz]

Oooh, what a pretty bowl. Interesting combination. I'll bet Max didn't like the onions. /Grin

[yoyomax12]

@thizizliz received that dish as a wedding present in 1995. It has a glass lid and a plastic one you can throw on to put it in the fridge. It is pretty but the design on the edge makes it a bit of a pain to clean up.

Max didn't see me make this, he was outside, but he did taste the onions and ate mostly the top part! You called it!

[thizizliz]

@yoyomax12 It's great! Yeah, I can predict that because I have one like that to this day - he's 38 and even when I mince or blend them, he knows they are in there. Luckily, maturity has gotten him to eat them anyway, but I try to reduce the amounts or cut them out about half the time to be fair. Son won't eat onions, hubby won't eat mushrooms. Oh well - love them anyway. PS - the fridge lid makes it a winner but I know what you mean about the design. :-(

[SueVlogs]

Oh my gosh that looks DELISH!!!!!!!!

[yoyomax12]

@SueVlogs Thanks! It was.

[wildheart5]

Max has had some great jokes lately! LOL Oh wow, this dish is to die for! You are a good masher too!  lol

[yoyomax12]

@wildheart5 Thanks Barb! We taped a big pile of jokes that day (Max suggested it) and I have some for a while!

[dreamer72fem]

Oh my name is all over this I tell ya....favorited it to make later. Dad had me save your deviled egg one to try also.

[yoyomax12]

@dreamer72fem This would be perfect to bring to a pot luck or a legion dinner.

It makes a lot, so you'd have leftovers for a couple days for sure.
