Creamy Crack Potatoes - creamy potatoes loaded with cheddar, bacon and ranch! SO good! Frozen shredded hash browns, cheddar, bacon, ranch dressing mix, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, butter and ritz crackers. A cross between scalloped potatoes and a regular potato casserole. I could make a meal out of these potatoes!!! Can make ahead and freeze for later. Great for a crowd. #potatocasserole #sidedish #freezermeal #bacon
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray a 9x13x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine hash browns, cream of chicken soup, 2 cups cheddar cheese, heavy cream, butter, sour cream, ranch packet, and 1 cup cooked bacon.
Spoon potato mixture into prepared pan.
Combine crushed crackers, 1/2 cup bacon, and remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. Sprinkle over potatoes.
Bake, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes, until bubbly.
Notes:
I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.
