Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 6 cups potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds (about 3 pounds)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 ounces bacon
• 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Ranch dressing (we use Tastefully Simple’s Classic Ranch Mix)
• Sour cream
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil
• Optional: scallions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Roast the potatoes.
   Slice potatoes into ¼-inch thick rounds (no need to peel). Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
3. Cook the bacon.
   While the potatoes cook, heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
4. Cook the chicken.
   In the same pan (leave a little bacon grease for flavor), season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
   Transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Dice into ½-inch cubes.
5. Assemble.
   Divide roasted potatoes between plates. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese. Top with diced chicken and chopped bacon. Drizzle with ranch and add dollops of sour cream. Garnish with scallions if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy!

For a fun twist, we love drizzling Tastefully Simple’s Bold Buffalo Ranch over the top. It adds just the right kick and takes these loaded potatoes to the next level.
