2 tbsp ranch dip mix
1 tbsp olive oil
5–6 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped

In a large bowl, toss potatoes, garlic, jalapeños, onion, red peppers, ranch dip mix, olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Cut 4 large pieces of heavy-duty foil. Divide the potato mix evenly among them.
Top each with chopped bacon and a generous handful of cheese.
