Ingredients

1 red potato, washed and dried

olive oil

salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 slices bacon

2 - 3 oz Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese

2 slices fresh firm bread

Ranch dressing*

1 Tbsp butter

1 green onion

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place red potato on a baking sheet and pierce potato several times with a fork. Drizzle both sides lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer baking sheet to preheated oven and bake potato until tender about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow rest until cool enough to slice. Slice potatoes into about 1/4-inch thick slices. Butter outsides of two slices of bread. Spread ranch dressing along opposite side of bread. Top one of the slices of bread with sliced red potatoes followed by bacon, cheese and pepper to taste . Sprinkle green onions over ranch covered side of remaining slice of bread then top sandwich with that remaining slice . Place in a 10-inch non-stick skillet, cover skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Cook for about 4 - 5 minutes until bottom is golden then carefully rotate to opposite side, cover and cook until bottom is golden, about 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately with more ranch dressing for dipping. *for the ranch I actually just used the hidden valley ranch dressing mix, prepared according to directions on package and added a bit of fresh chopped basil and some dried parsley just to up the flavor a bit. I would just recommend using a good quality ranch, not the stuff from the shelf even the mix stuff is so much better than that kind. The refrigerated ranches near the produce are also better than that on the shelf .
