Easy Baked Potato--low-fat option

My mom has never met a potato she didn't like, and I'm her daughter. Even simple potatoes are worthy of a meal.

Growing up in a family of nine, my mom would make baked potatoes in the oven. I remember scrubbing and wrapping them for my mom, as she prepped the rest of dinner.
But now that I'm living with just my husband it doesn't always make sense to heat up the entire oven for 2 baked potatoes.
My father-in-law showed me this trick: Use plastic wrap to steam your potato in the microwave.

Trivia question for you:
What has more potassium, a banana or a baked potato?

Ranch Punched Potatoes



This flavorful dish has the delicious taste of Ranch Dressing without lots of grease. It has creamy potatoes below and crispier chunks above.
The best part? You probably have everything you need to make it right now.
This is a great last-minute dinner side dish idea.
