Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potatoes

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potatoes
Makes a 9 x 13 pan
Ingredients:
2 pounds potatoes (unpeeled, washed and chunked)
½ cup ranch dressing (bottled)
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping (if desired)
¼ cup crumbled, cooked bacon
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
3 scallions, washed and chopped
Salt, to taste
Garlic Powder, to taste
Black ground pepper
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix together, in a large bowl, the ranch dressing, dill, cheese and bacon.
Add in the potatoes.
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper.
Toss to coat potatoes.
Spoon into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
Cover with foil.
Bake for 60 minutes.
Stir gently halfway through to get the bottom potatoes rotated so they don’t become burnt and to
ensure that the middle and top potatoes get a chance to brown.
Remove foil.
Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Gently stir again, as necessary.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, then sprinkle on a little more cheese, if desired.
Bake a few more minutes or until everything is gooey, browned and bubbly on top.
Serve with scallions sprinkled on top for garnish.
