Directions
Peel potatoes and cut off the ends of the potatoes. Cut potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch slices and set aside in cold water.
Place the potato horizontally with skewers on both sides. Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/16-inch lines. Then flip the potatoes over and 1/16-inch diagonal lines.
Melt butter and mix with 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix and brush onto both sides of the potatoes, reserving ¼ cup for brushing.
Bake potatoes on a well-greased rack over a baking pan for 40 to 45 minutes turning once halfway through. During the last 2 minutes of baking, spread potatoes out and brush with reserved ranch butter.
In the meantime, cook bacon according to package directions. Cool; crumble. Add crumbled bacon to sour cream, blue cheese, green onions, and 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix.
Serve potatoes with bacon dip and chopped parsley, if desired.
