Recipe: Roasted New Potato Salad (using ranch dressing)

ROASTED NEW POTATO SALAD

FOR THE ROASTED POTATOES:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds small red potatoes, diced
1/2 medium-size sweet onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
FOR THE SALAD:
8 to 10 cooked crisp bacon slices, crumbled
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3/4 cup prepared Ranch dressing
Salt and pepper to taste

TO ROAST THE POTATOES:
Place oil in a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan; add potatoes and the next 4 ingredients, tossing to coat. Arrange potato mixture in a single layer.

Bake at 425 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a large bowl. (If you like your potatoes crispier, bake about 10 minutes longer, stirring once. Don't forget to schedule the extra time when planning your meal.)

TO MAKE THE SALAD:
Toss together potatoes, bacon, green onions, and dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Makes 4 to 6 servings
