Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat milk, water and butter to boiling. Stir in ranch dressing mix and sour cream; beat until smooth.

Top with remaining crumbled bacon and the green onions.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to boil, then lower heat to simmer, uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes fall apart when pierced with fork. Drain potatoes in a colander and return potatoes to the pot. Mash potatoes until smooth. Stir in Ranch seasoning and sour cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in large pan with water over high heat and boil until tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes. Heat butter, half-and-half and peppers in saucepan over low heat until combined.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork-tender; drain and place in a large bowl.
• To hot potatoes add in cubed butter, cream cheese, sour cream and 1/2 package dry dressing mix; at low speed using an electric mixer beat until until the potatoes are semi chunky (low speed only to start as the potatoes are hot).
• Continue beating at HIGH speed until the potatoes are smooth and very fluffy.
• At this point do a taste-test if you desire a more stronger ranch flavor then add in more dry dressing mix until desired flavor is achieved, you may also add in milk or whipping cream for a more creamy taste (start with a small amount and add in more).
