Shake and Bake Potatoes

I recently stumbled across a recipe for shake and bake potatoes on Tasty Kitchen. It was posted by Sara from Sara & Spice. I remembered my mom making shake and bake chicken when I was young. I loved it them. Now, I thought it would be great to make a potato dish with a similar coating.
Now Sara’s originally recipe was made with dry Italian dressing mix, but she said ranch dressing mix works well too. I tried it out with the ranch dressing. Also, I only made half a recipe. I made the whole amount of coating and just used half. Then I have the coating mix ready to go for next time. Also think it would be fun to try other seasoning mixes in the coating. I think it would be yummy to use regular bread crumbs along with a package of taco seasoning for another variation. Any other dip or dressing mix would work in this recipe.
The family loved them and it was an easy side dish to put together. I also love the fact that this uses olive oil and is baked. Much healthier than a coated and deep fried French fry. Below is my slightly adapted version of Sara’s recipe.
I have a giveaway starting today for you, so pop on over to the giveaway page after looking at the recipe to enter.
