🛒 Ingredients

• 4–5 cups diced potatoes (Yukon gold or red work best)
• 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed — rotisserie works great)
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional for extra gooeyness)
• 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Optional: green onions or parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Prep the potatoes
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Bake the potatoes
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are starting to get tender and golden brown.
3. Add chicken and cheese
   Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle cooked chicken and half of the crumbled bacon over the potatoes. Top with shredded cheese.
4. Finish baking
   Return to oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Top & serve
   Sprinkle with remaining bacon, green onions, or parsley. Serve hot and watch it disappear.
