Ranch Smashed Potatoes
What better to complement the wonderful Italian Ranch Chicken Burger?
…. Ranch Smashed Potatoes of course!
First, boil your potatoes (I like to use baby potatoes) until fork tender.
Drain and place on a foil lined, oiled baking pan
Using a potato masher, fork or heavy can…smash the potatoes.
Brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper and ranch powder.
Bake , let cool and chow down.

Crash Hot Potatoes is one of my favourite ways to prepare baby potatoes, though I usually season mine with cajun seasoning or caraway seed depending on my mood… I can just imagine how awesome they must taste with ranch powder instead, though!
Excellent way to put some zip into plain potatoes. These look yummy and crispy! Thanks for sharing.
HmM!!!! I’ve never had smashed potatoes, just mashed every which way. But nom. I love ranch!
I like the name of this recipe!!
It sounds soooo good…love smashed potatoes!
Wow – how simple, but they sound so good! Great seasonings on them, and a little crispy from the oven! Love it!
This is such a great idea! I bet the potatoes were super fragrant!
This is just genius
I thought you were going to use the liquid dressing but powder! Just pure awesomeness
