Poor potatoes. They've gotten such a bad wrap. It's a shame really that anti-carb fanatics have turned the potato into a forbidden vegetable. I for one am not buying into all of the bad potato press. Potatoes are inexpensive, they're available year round, they're full of vitamins and potassium and let's face it, few things are as delicious as a potato. As if those weren't enough reasons to fall in love with potatoes, they're also super simple to prepare and they're incredibly satisfying. After all what would Thanksgiving be without a giant bowl of buttery mashed potatoes? What's a burger without fries or a sandwich without chips? I'm bringing potatoes back to our table. White, red, sweet, roasted, baked or fried - bring em on. I can't even think of a way to prepare a potato that I DON'T like but my favorite is probably baked or roasted potatoes. It just doesn't get much better than a batch of roasted potatoes smothered in cheddar cheese and served with a ranch dipping sauce. Roasted Ranch Potatoes Sauce 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 2 Tablespoons milk 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped 1 Tablespoon white vinegar 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Potaotes 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1" pieces 1/4 cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro 2 teaspoons fresh dill
Sprinkle with cheddar and bake another 3 minutes. Transfer to platter and serve with sauce. Roasted Ranch Potatoes are a great side dish for almost any meal. The next time that I make them I think I'll slice them into wedges though to make them even easier to dip into the ranch sauce. Cubes or wedges, I think you're going to like these.
Ciao!
