Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

6 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.

      Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them once halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.

        Mix the Cheesy Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing and sour cream until smooth. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese (1/2 cup), mixing until well combined.

          Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the roasted potatoes with the crumbled bacon and the cheesy ranch mixture, ensuring each potato is well coated.

            Bake Again: Return the mixture to the baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted to perfection.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, garnish the dish with finely chopped green onions and fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor and color. Serve warm and enjoy!
