Cheesy Ranch Potatoes are a classic comfort food covered in cheese and bacon and are the perfect side dish for just about anything including your Easter ham!
Easter is just around the corner and if ham is your traditional Easter dinner fare I am sure there is also potatoes on the menu. They just seem to go together.
Cheesy ranch potatoes are a perfect side dish. Loaded with ranch flavor, cheese, bacon, and onions. My family loved them and even the non potato eating member of the family enjoyed them. How could you not enjoying something covered in bacon and cheese, yum!!!

Tips from leigh Anne
- I always use russet potatoes, but you can also use red potatoes for this recipe. No need to peel the potatoes.
- If you don’t want the little bit of kick from the pepper jack, use Monterey jack instead. If you want your potatoes extra cheesy, feel free to double the amount of cheese.
- Make sure the bacon is nice and crisp, then cut it up into small pieces.
As far as I am concerned this recipe is the perfect addition to your Easter dinner or any dinner!
