Tastes from Home with Frito-Lay Giveaway

Lay's chips have always been delicious and a family favorite.  Now they have added several new varieties to wow us.  http://www.fritolay.com/lays/regionally-inspired-flavors.html

Try some Smashed Ranch Potatoes.  I remember all the potato dishes my mom made for us as kids growing up in the midwest and today I make this for my own daughter, it's quick and easy to prepare when you had a busy day.

Pick your favorite potato.  Yukon Gold, Butter, Red.  Wash well and poke with fork.  Place in bowl in microwave for 6-10 minutes depending on number of potatoes used.  Let cool a minute before handling bowl.  Take fork and smash them up.  Add your favorite ranch dressing and a little shredded co-jack cheese.  Stir and enjoy. 

Try some twice baked ranch potatoes. Microwave 2 large baking potatoes according to your microwave directions. Let cool. Cut in half and scoop out the potato. Place in bowl with one half cup ranch dressing and a half cup of shredded cheese. Mix and put back in potato shell. Bake in 375 degree oven until heated through. Put a little more shredded cheese on top and enjoy.

Lay’s Regional Flavored chips! 
http://www.fritolay.com/lays/regionally-inspired-flavors.html
These chips were inspired by popular American regional cuisine and include:

1. Northeastern U.S. – Lay’s Honey Mustard
2. Midwestern U.S. – Lay’s Creamy Garden Ranch
3. Northwestern U.S. – Lay’s Balsamic Sweet Onion
4. Southwestern U.S. – Lay’s Chipotle Ranch
5. Southeastern U.S. – Lay’s Cajun Herb & Spice

· All of the Lay's Regional Flavored potato chips are made with all natural ingredients and cooked in healthier oils, like corn and sunflower oils, which contain 80% or more of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat - the "good fats." They also contain 0 grams of trans fats per serving!

· There’s also less sodium in them than you might think – a 1-oz serving of our Lay’s Regional Flavored potato chips contains less salt than a plain bagel!

I can't wait to also try the Balsamic Sweet Onion and Honey Mustard.  Another flavor I have tried also pictured is Carolina BBQ which I found in my store by the Creamy Garden Ranch.
