Grandma’s Cheesy Ranch Party Potatoes

** This is a sponsored post for Cabot Creamery. I have been given delicious products in exchange for my recipe and honest opinion of the product.

Family gatherings mean two things at my Grandparent’s house homemade pickles & cheesy ranch potatoes.  I will not be sharing the secret 4th generation pickle recipe anytime soon, but I will today share this delicious & easy recipe for potatoes for one (with leftovers) or for a crowd.

As part of a National Dairy Month promotion that I am participating in, a few days ago I received a box filled with several bricks of cheese from Cabot Creamery as well as a sturdy reusable grocery bag. Prior to having kids we would use our Stand Mixer to shred block cheese. We still do it time to time, and we did it for this recipe. Using the shredder produces a Fantastic and DELICIOUS tasting shredded cheese. Seriously amazing. LOVED the Seriously Sharp Cheese.

For this recipe I took 1 block of Cabot’s Seriously Sharp cheese, and it produced just over 2 cups shredded (I also “taste tested” some) cheese.  I am pretty excited to use some of the remaining block cheese for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party, in a meat & cheese tray.
