Roasted Ranch Red Potatoes



The red potatoes looked lonely in the bottom of my refrigerator.

They did have a friend with them . . .

but they got separated!

I had plans for both of them earlier.

But those plans got thwarted!

Now, I had to make a new plan . . .

Roasted Ranch Red Potatoes!

The Mr. and the cherubs love almost any veggie that I roast.

Potatoes are no different!

I wanted to add a little zest to those cuties,

after all, I had left them in the refrigerator to meat their doom if I didn't make a quick decision!

Roasted Ranch Red Potatoes

6 red potatoes (or as many or as few as you need)
olive oil
1 or 2 dry ranch dressing mixes (make sure they are gluten free if that's your need!)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Wash and cube red potatoes.

Place in a bowl and lightly drizzle with olive oil.

You want just enough to coat but not too much to make greasy.

Sprinkle the desired amount of ranch mix onto the potatoes.  Toss to coat.

Place on foil lined baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.

Cook until the potatoes are fork tender and brown in color.

Half way through the cooking time, turn the potatoes to offer each side a chance to brown . . .it's only fair!

Serve warm.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
