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.
