Irresistible Ranch Butter Potatoes with Crispy Bacon

👉Ingredients:

↪️1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

↪️1½ pounds baby potatoes (red or Yukon gold), halved or quartered

↪️6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

↪️1 packet ranch seasoning mix

↪️3 tablespoons butter, melted

↪️2 cloves garlic, minced

↪️Salt and pepper, to taste

↪️Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👉Instructions:

✅️Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

Place the halved or quartered baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until just fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

✅️Step 2: Blanch the Green Beans

In a separate pot, boil water and add the trimmed green beans. Cook for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.

✅️Step 3: Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set on paper towels to drain. Reserve about 1–2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

✅️Step 4: Make the Ranch Butter Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch seasoning mix, and minced garlic.

✅️Step 5: Combine Everything

In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, add the cooked potatoes, green beans, and crumbled bacon. Pour the ranch butter sauce over everything. Gently toss until all the ingredients are well coated and heated through.

✅️Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!
