My kiddos love these potatoes!

Ranch Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 6-8 potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into wedges
  • ¼ c. vegetable oil
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450.

Grease a large baking sheet or pan.

Place potatoes and oil in a gallon-size bag or large container with a tight lid. Seal the bag or cover the container and shake to coat.

Add the seasoning packet and toss again until coated.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp. (You may want to stir the potatoes from time to time to keep them from sticking.)

French Fries

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog5 Comments

I had gotten into the habit of buying the bags of frozen fries at the grocery store. Recently someone had reminded me of how much better fresh fries taste and I have to agree that the little bit of extra work is well worth it. Yes, I do still keep a bag or two of the frozen ones on hand but I have been trying to make them from ‘scratch’ as often as I can.

I’m sure many of you know how to make them but this is for those of us who can be a little unsure of things sometimes. This is more common than you may think and I believe a lot of it may have to do with the fact that our younger generations are not being taught these things at home or in school. We had an associate at a large store tell us that she had just helped someone who didn’t know where to find shredded lettuce. The poor girl had been searching the canned food aisle over and over again.

This man here proves that anything can be used as a blessing… even French Fries!

I love a good baked potato. I can eat them at almost any time with almost any meal and sometimes as a snack. I usually make them in the microwave but this is the way I make them when I need to make more than one or two at a time. Continue reading “Baked Potatoes” →
