    List of Ingredients




    1 pound potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch strips
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 cup milk
    1 tablespoon flour
    2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
    1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    Tabasco sauce to taste
    2 whole green onions, thinly sliced
    2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
    Ranch-style dressing

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Combine in a large bowl, potatoes, olive oil, chili powder, and cumin (and salt and pepper to taste, if desired) stirring to coat with spices. Place potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown.

    For cheese sauce, whisk together milk and flour in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce (and salt and pepper to taste, if desired). Cook over low heat for 1 minute, or until cheese melts and sauce is smooth, stirring constantly.

    Mound cooked potatoes on a serving plate. Drizzle cheese sauce over the potatoes. Top with sliced green onions and crumbled bacon. Serve with lowfat ranch-style dressing on the side.

    Notes: To make your own lowfat ranch-style dressing, combine 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/2 sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serves 4.
