STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Ensuring the pan is well-greased prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.📌

2

Mix hash brown potatoes, sour cream, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, bacon, and ranch dressing mix together in a large bowl until well combined. Spread into the prepared pan and cover with aluminum foil.

Mixing thoroughly ensures all ingredients are evenly distributed, leading to a consistent flavor in every bite.📌

3

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese evenly across potatoes. Bake until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned around the edges, about 15 more minutes.

Baking with foil first helps the potatoes cook through without drying out. Removing it allows the cheese to melt and brown beautifully.📌

💡 Tips

This dish pairs excellently with grilled chicken, roasted beef, or pork.For a smaller gathering, you can halve the recipe to serve four people.Prepare the mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just before baking, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then bake as directed.Any leftover potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
