1 large, uniformly-shaped russ\"89306e2170c725ccadea44ce4fd71911\"<\/a>et potato, scrubbed well and sliced into 1\/8″ rounds*
\nCooking spray
\n3\/4 C. shredded colby jack or cheddar cheese
\nSalt & pepper to taste
\n2 T. crumbled bacon (about 2 slices) – I used real bacon bits
\nChopped parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bring sliced potatoes to a boil in cold, salted water to cover for 5 minutes. Carefully drain, and transfer slices to a paper-towel lined countertop or cutting board. Pat to dry. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray, and lay out potato slices so they are overlapping on it. Spray lightly with additional cooking spray, then sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese & bacon. Bake 12-14 minutes in preheated oven until cheese is melted & bubbly. Serve with chipotle ranch sauce (recipe below). Serves 2.<\/p>\n

*You can use 2 medium-sized potatoes rather than 1 large. Also, I like to leave the skin on but you can peel the potatoes if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Chipotle Ranch Dipping Sauce<\/p>\n

1 T. ranch dressing
\n3 T. sour cream
\n1\/4 tsp. chipotle chili powder
\n1\/8 tsp. cayenne (adjust more or less depending on how spicy you want).
\n1\/8 tsp. salt
\n1\/8 tsp. garlic powder<\/p>\n

Place all ingredients in a small bowl, and stir to combine. Refrigerate any leftovers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
