Crack Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water over high heat until fork tender. Drain the water from the pot and transfer the potatoes to a 2-quart baking dish. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and 1 cup of the cheese. Pour the mixture all over the potatoes in the baking dish and toss lightly to coat the potatoes.

Step 4

Bake uncovered at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the casserole from oven and top with the remaining cheese and bacon. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted. Top with the chopped green onion and serve hot.
