This is one of those "comfort food" recipes. I am not fond of CheezWhiz or Velvetta but my sons like these potatoes.

Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 1 Hour 30 minutes. Ready in: approx. 1 Hour 50 Minutes.

Makes 12 servings.

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons water
1 pound processed cheese food –Velvetta
or CheeseWhiz
½ cup butter
1 ( 1 ounce pkg dry Ranch Style dressing mix)
¼ cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Line a 9 x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
Place potatoes and water in baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt together:
processed cheese food and butter.

Pour the processed cheese food mixture over potatoes.
Return to oven, reseal and continue cooking 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender and processed cheese food mixture is bubbly.
