Crack potatoes is the perfect side dish with the best blend of ingredients. The potatoes are loaded with Ranch seasoning, cheese, bacon and more. It is the best comfort food.
Peel and dice the potatoes into approximately 1 inch pieces. Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the melted butter, salt and pepper.
Then move the potatoes into an 8X8 baking pan. Cover the pan with foil and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
In a separate bowl, stir together the sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, half of the chopped bacon and half of the cheddar cheese. Pour this mixture on top of the cooked potatoes. Gently stir the potatoes to coat the potatoes with the sour cream mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and chopped bacon on top.
Bake for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Top with the diced green onions and serve warm.
Notes
*You can use a 30 oz bag of diced hash brown potatoes instead of potatoes for this recipe.*I used Russet potatoes but red potatoes would be delicious in this recipe as well.*Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.*Use a dry seasoning mix not ranch dressing for this recipe.
