How Important Is A Side Dish?
It is my opinion that a starch dish can make our break a meal. I’ve had meals where the starch dish on the side was actually the best thing on my plate. When I go back for seconds, I don’t always go back and get seconds of EVERYTHING, I usually choose my favorite to stuff myself with!

Many times, this is the potato dish. Potatoes are one of those things that, when dressed correctly, can be the snazziest thing on your plate! They can also be a drag. Has anyone had a bland baked potato? Or soft, chewy french fries? Potatoes just need a little bit of help to be the star of the show.

If you want to give them a little extra flair, try out adding some garlic to the recipe. Simply take a couple of cloves of fresh garlic, mince them and toss them in with olive oil and garlic. Who doesn’t love roasted olive oil and garlic? Yum!

I won’t use prepared ranch dressings, dried or in bottles. I make all my own. I think this is a wonderful idea! I’d just make it super healthy as I don’t trust store things. Luv this recipe!
