Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potatoes

Ok, so this probably isn't the HEALTHIEST side dish ever but at least I tried to portion control this. I used 2 medium red potatoes and between those two potatoes there's enough for three servings. 2 slices of bacon, heck even one slice would do, reduced fat colby cheese and fat free ranch dressing. YUM! You spray the potatoes with cooking spray to get them nice and crispy and bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. They come out perfect every time!

I have discovered that parchment paper is the best for getting potatoes off a baking sheet. I've tried tinfoil before but the potatoes would always end up sticking no matter how much olive oil or cooking spray you'd put the potatoes. If you don't use any tinfoil the potatoes still stick to the baking sheet no matter what, so I always try and have some parchment paper on hand.
