Tex-Mex Ranch Potatoes

Tex-Mex Ranch Potatoes 2 pounds red potatoes 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix 1/2 cup ranch dressing 1/2 cup cheddar cheese 1/2 cup crumbled bacon (optional) 4 scallions, minced Cube potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, stir together ranch, taco seasoning, and half of the cheddar cheese. Add in potatoes and stir well to coat them with the sauce. Add potatoes to a large baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake them at 350°F for 45 minutes. Remove foil and stir potatoes well. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes or until potatoes are crispy. Remove potatoes and sprinkle with other half of cheddar cheese. The heat from the potatoes should melt the cheese.
