Extra Special Ranch Potatoes

     This is Barry’s latest variation of the ever-familiar potato. The recipe is easy to prepare; the results were yummy and something a little different than the usual.    

     Instead of just mixing all olive oil with Ranch dressing, Barry added some mayo – it melts and coats the potatoes with additional oil while adding another layer of flavor.

Our niece kicked these potatoes up another notch by topping her portion with sour cream.
