This 3-Ingredient Holiday Ranch Potato Casserole is the kind of effortless dish that becomes a seasonal tradition without even trying. With only a handful of ingredients and almost no prep, it bakes into a creamy, cozy, irresistibly flavorful side that feels right at home on any festive table. The ranch seasoning adds a savory, herb-packed depth, while the heavy cream transforms the potatoes into luscious, velvety layers.
Perfect for busy holiday cooking, potlucks, or weeknight comfort, this casserole is simple enough for any cook but indulgent enough to earn rave reviews. The potatoes soften beautifully as they bake, soaking up the seasoned cream and developing lightly golden edges. The result is rich, rustic, and totally satisfying — a dish that tastes like far more effort than it actually takes.
Its ease makes it endlessly adaptable, too. Add cheese, herbs, or toppings, and it shifts from minimalist to decadent in seconds. Even as written, though, it’s a crowd-pleasing favorite that delivers that cozy, comforting “holiday” feeling with almost no work at all.
