The Fourth of July is a truly delicious holiday, and there are so many sweet, sweet ways to celebrate.



The savory food is also delicious, but it's a little less red, white, and blue.

If you want to add a little more ~patriotism~ to your barbecue spread...
...here's how to make an easy, star-spangled side dish that everybody will love.

1. First, cut 5 pounds of potatoes into 1-inch cubes, boil until tender, and drain.

2. Dump the cooked potatoes into a rectangular casserole dish.

3. Smother with ranch dressing.

4. Mix.

5. Cook 8-10 strips of bacon until they're super crispy, then lay them over the potatoes.

O say, can you see where I'm going with this?

6. Crumble a big handful of blue corn tortilla chips, and sprinkle them in the upper left hand corner.

ALMOST THERE.

7. To make stars, put some ranch or sour cream into a ziploc bag, then cut a little bit of the corner off and pipe it in rows over the corn chips.

Move over flag cake, there's a new AmeriCasserole in town!
