Baked Potato Salad
2 (24-oz) bags frozen cut russet potatoes, Ore-Ida Steam 'n Mash
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup mayo
1 pkg Hidden Valley dry ranch mix
1 pkg real bacon bits
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1 pkg shredded cheese (recipe calls for Swiss, I prefer cheddar in this particular dish)

1.  Cook potatoes according to package directions.  Immediately, and carefully, open bags to release steam.  Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until potatoes are cool (about 2 hours).

2.  In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, and ranch mix.  Stir in bacon bits, green onion, and cheese.  Gently fold in chilled potatoes.
