Potato Slices with Bacon are an easy, cheesy side dish with crispy edges, tender potatoes, savory bacon, and plenty of melted cheddar. The potatoes are seasoned with garlic, onion, and Ranch seasoning before being roasted until golden, then topped with bacon and cheese for the final few minutes.
This is a simple side dish that comes together with just a handful of ingredients and pairs well with just about any meal. The combination of crispy roasted potatoes, bacon, cheddar, and Ranch seasoning makes these especially hard to resist.
Garnish with fresh chives for a little extra color and fresh flavor, then serve them hot while the cheese is melted and gooey.
