I am always on the look-out for new potato recipes and was thrilled when I found this recipe. And it was fantastic!

Ingredients:

• 2 (16oz) containers sour cream
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 (3oz) bags bacon bits or real bacon
• 2 packages Ranch Dip mix
• 1 large (28 - 30oz) bag frozen hash brown potatoes - I prefer the shredded ones

Directions:

1. Combine first 4 ingredients.
2. Mix in hash browns. 
3. Spread into a greased 9x13 pan.
4. Bake at 400 degrees for 45-60 minutes.

I have also cooked these in the crockpot and they turned out really well. I cooked on low for about 3 hours.
