Crazy Crack-ed Potato Casserole

by

Once again while perusing the world of Pinterest (otherwise known as “my heaven”) I came across some potato casseroles I just couldn’t resist. One such casserole came from Plain Chicken, they called them “Crack Potatoes” or Loaded Potato Casserole. Why crack potatoes? Well apparently it’s the use of Ranch Dip mix which this particular blogger calls her “crack” because it’s so addictive. Well, I now know what she means as I decided to whip up a batch of my own version of  crack potatoes this weekend – so freaking amazing. Not to mention it’s one of the easiest casserole recipes you’ll ever make.

BEWARE – this recipe below might become addictive. Try not to “crack up or go crazy after eating them.” 🙂
