Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 10 -12 small potatoes cubed and roasted until cooked through
- 8 slices bacon cooked

- Bake at 450 degrees until cooked through and slightly crisp, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile cook the bacon and diced it up.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Reduce heat in the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add in the ranch dressing, half the bacon, half the cheese and most of the onions. Toss well.
- Add more ranch if needed and the remaining bacon.
