Delicious Mississippi Mud Potatoes

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, cooked bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise (if using), ranch seasoning, and half of the green onions.
3. Stir well to coat all the potatoes evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
5. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.
