Tastes Like Corner Bakery's Roasted Potato Salad

In Chicago in the '90s was a chain called the Corner Bakery.  It was owned by the same company that owns Maggianos.  It was like a Panera, but much better!  One of my favorite items to get at the Corner Bakery was their roasted potato salad.  It was offered as a side with sandwiches.   Yummy!  Here's a recipe from a 2005 edition of Southern Living for a roasted potato salad that tastes a lot like the Corner Bakery original.  Enjoy!

Roasted Potato Salad

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 lbs small red potatoes, diced

1/2 medium sweet onion, chopped

2 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp coarse salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

8-10 bacon slices, cooked crisp and crumbled

1 bunch green onions, chopped

3/4 cup ranch dressing

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425. Place oil in 15x10 jellyroll pan; add potatoes and the next 4 ingredients, tossing to coat. Arrange potato mixture in a single layer.  Roast at 425 for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Transfer into a large bowl.  Allow to cool slightly.  Toss together potatoes, bacon, green onions, and dressing.  Cover and chill until ready to serve.
