Blue Isle Week: Ranch Mashed Potatoes

Blue Isle Mediterranean Yogurt Spread in French Onion Flavor

I love it when a product is SO easy to work with and SO delicious, I can just take some of my existing recipes and totally take them over the edge, by adding a bit of my new yumminess!

I re-vamped a greek-yogurt mashed potato recipe today by adding a ton of flavor with Blue Isle Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads.  The French Onion flavor is perfect for sour cream and dip substitutes all by itself; but by adding it to a recipe, the flavor goes THROUGH THE ROOF!

I'm one of those people who secretly believes that everything savory and delicious should be drenched ranch flavor salad dressing.  If calories and healthy were not an issue, I'd buy it by the gallon.  Blue Isle's French Onion Mediterranean Yogurt Spread makes for a perfect base to make your OWN version of a healthier, lighter ranch dressing!
