HG Recipe Tips…
Change up the flavor! Use dry onion soup mix instead of ranch for a French-onion-style flavor.Top it off! Serve topped with shredded reduced-fat cheese and chopped scallions for a twist inspired by classic loaded baked potatoes.
Make it a meal! Have more than one Crock-Pot? Pair these mashies with a slow-cooked meat recipe, like pot roast or pulled pork.
