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 the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Toss the potatoes with the melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the potatoes to an 8x8-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until tender.
Combine the sour cream, ranch seasoning, 4 slices of bacon, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese in a bowl.
Pour the mixture over the cooked potatoes and gently stir to coat.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 4 slices of bacon.
Bake uncovered for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Top with the green onion 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.
