Country Ranch Green Beans ‘n Potatoes with Bacon – A Savory Side Dish

In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
Cook the Potatoes:

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with bacon fat and cook for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften. Add olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Add the Green Beans:

Stir in the green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the Sauce:

Pour in the ranch dressing and chicken broth, stirring to coat the potatoes and beans evenly.
Simmer:

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are cooked through.
Finish and Serve:

Stir in the crispy bacon, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
