Chicken Turkey Bacon Potatoes (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 800 g russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes
02 - 400 g chicken breast, trimmed and diced
03 - 120 g turkey bacon, chopped

→ Seasoning & Oils

04 - 3 teaspoons seasoned salt
05 - 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning blend
06 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

→ Toppings

07 - 120 g cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
08 - 120 ml ranch dressing, divided

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Peel russet potatoes and slice into uniform 2 cm cubes. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry using paper towels.
02 - Place potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add diced chicken breast and olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and half the ranch seasoning, tossing until all pieces are evenly coated and glossy.
03 - Transfer seasoned potatoes to an air fryer basket set at 200°C. Cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes for even browning, until potatoes are golden and crisp.
04 - In a large cold skillet, add chopped turkey bacon. Set over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply crispy. Drain on paper towels.
05 - Using the rendered bacon fat in the skillet, cook the seasoned diced chicken over medium heat for 7–8 minutes, stirring often, until thoroughly cooked and golden. Drain any excess juices, then sprinkle with remaining ranch seasoning.
06 - Return crisped potatoes to the skillet with cooked chicken. Add half of the cooked bacon and 60 ml ranch dressing. Fold gently to coat all components.
07 - Transfer mixture to an oven-safe baking dish if required. Top with shredded cheddar and the remaining bacon. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
08 - Drizzle remaining ranch dressing over the hot dish and serve immediately.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Cut potatoes to a uniform size for even roasting and optimal crispness.
02 - Dry potatoes thoroughly before air frying to prevent steaming.
03 - Turkey bacon adds smoky flavor while keeping the dish lower in fat.
04 - Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to three days; reheat gently to preserve texture.
05 - Easily adaptable for gluten-free diets; ensure ranch seasoning and dressing are certified gluten free.
