Jalapeño Bacon Ranch Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lb Potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 6 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 2 Jalapeños (seeded and diced)
• 2 cups Shredded Cheese (such as cheddar or a Mexican blend)
• 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
• 2 tbsp Ranch Seasoning (or Dan-O's Seasoning equivalent)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, uniform rounds using a knife or mandoline.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, ranch seasoning (or Dan-O's), and minced garlic until well combined.

4. 4

   Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

5. 5

   Top the potato layer with a portion of the diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.

6. 6

   Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a generous layer of cheese and bacon on top.

7. 7

   Pour the cream mixture evenly over the assembled layers.

8. 8

   Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

10. 10

    Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Notes

The author mentions Dan-O's seasoning as a primary flavor component. For the best results, ensure potatoes are sliced thinly and evenly to ensure they cook through at the same rate.
