Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

6 slices of crispy bacon, crumbled

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ranch dressing

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

      Bake: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

        Add Bacon and Cheese: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the ranch dressing over the hot potatoes, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, bacon-flavored goodness!
