How to Make Amazing Ranch Potato Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook potatoes until tender. (Instructions for cooking potatoes should be added here based on the preferred method, e.g., boiling, baking etc.)
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 4 oz Oscar Mayer real bacon bits, 1 cup ranch dressing, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Add the cooked and sliced potatoes (approximately 3 lbs) to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  5. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  6. **Topping:** In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup crushed potato chips, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the potato mixture.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
