# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Peel russet potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then dry completely using paper towels.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine potato cubes, diced chicken breast, and olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and half the ranch seasoning blend. Toss thoroughly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
03 -
Transfer seasoned potatoes to an air fryer basket preheated to 400°F. Cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crisp.
04 -
Place chopped turkey bacon in a large cold skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is deeply crisp. Drain on paper towels.
05 -
In the same skillet with the rendered bacon fat, cook the seasoned diced chicken over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and golden. Remove any excess juices and sprinkle with the remaining ranch seasoning.
06 -
Return crisped potatoes to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Add half of the cooked turkey bacon and 1/4 cup ranch dressing. Gently fold to coat all components evenly.
07 -
If needed, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Top with freshly shredded cheddar cheese and remaining turkey bacon. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
08 -
Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup ranch dressing over the dish while hot and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best texture, thoroughly dry the potatoes before air frying to enhance crispiness.
