Ingredients
· 6 slices bacon
· 3 pounds red potatoes, chopped
· 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
· 1 tablespoon Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix
· 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
· Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
· Spread bacon in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until brown and crispy, about 12-14 minutes. Let cool before crumbling; set aside.
· Line a slow cooker with aluminum foil, leaving enough to overhang to wrap the potatoes on top, and coat with nonstick spray. Place a layer of potatoes evenly into the slow cooker. Top with cheese, Ranch Seasoning and bacon, repeating 2 more times and reserving 1/2 cup cheese.
· Cover potatoes with aluminum foil and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover and cook until melted, about 1-2 minutes.
· Serve immediately, garnished with chives.
