Step 1

Bake potatoes and refrigerate the night before. There easy to handle when you go to slice them.

Step 2

Mix ranch dressing, green chilies & sour cream the night before. It gives it time to marry the flavors. But not necessary.

Step 3

Also go ahead and fry the bacon and crumble it. Stick in the refrigerate over night.

Step 4

Also slice the green onions and put in refrigerator.

Step 5

The more you do the night before the easier it is the day of the BBQ or party! It's easy peasy!

Step 6

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 7

Slice potatoes with a mandolin. That way potatoes warm evenly. Use a casserole dish 9X13 or larger if you have one. Spray with PAM or what ever you like or even butter it. You don't want it to stick.

Step 8

Put a layer of potatoes,butter, sour cream then cheese. Till the last layer that's when you use the bacon. The green onions go on after it comes out of oven. Sometimes I just sit aside the green onions in a bowl and let them help them selves as some don't like onions at all! Enjoy!

Step 9

Bake for 35-45 minutes
