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.

· 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.
