- 1 packet 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided

- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in your baking dish and bake for 30 minutes until they start to soften and turn slightly golden.
Step 2: Prepare the Creamy Mixture
- While the potatoes are baking, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, and ranch seasoning in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
- Once the potatoes are partially cooked, remove them from the oven. Add the cooked chicken, half of the cheese, and half of the bacon. Pour the creamy ranch mixture over everything and gently mix to combine.
Step 4: Bake the Casserole
- Spread everything evenly in the dish. Cover with foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
Step 5: Add Toppings
- Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon on top, and return to the oven for 5–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and serve warm.
