Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 pkgs Russet potatoes cut in small chunks or whole little potatoes - or 3 pounds
- ⅔ cup Ranch dressing
- 1 - 2 tblsp garlic minced
- 3 tblsp dried onion flakes
- ½ cup bacon Canadian bacon, cooked and chopped. optional
- 1 - 2 cups cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated or shredded. optional
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- salt
Instructions
- Pull out and measure all the ingredients.
- Cut potatoes into 1-½ inch chunks or use mini/little potatoes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add potatoes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10-13 minutes, or until tender. Exact timing will depend on the type and size of the potatoes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 13 x 9 pan or dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- If using, chop and cook bacon according to package directions. I like mind crispy. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
- Once potatoes are almost cooked. Drain.
- Pour the ranch dressing in a measuring cup and add garlic and onion flakes. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- Using a fork, press down on each potato to slightly break open and flatten.
- Place potatoes inside prepared dish or pan.
- Pour the Ranch dressing over the potatoes and spread out as evenly as possible.
- Top it with bacon.
- Sprinkle the top with green onions.
- Do the same with Parmesan cheese, followed by shredded cheddar.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the biggest potatoes easily pierce with a fork. Remove pan from oven and set oven temperature to broil, if desired.
- Return pan to the oven and broil for a few minutes, until cheese starts to brown. Again, if desired.
- Enjoy every bite!
