Years ago, my son and I ordered our burgers at Red Robin, and the server brought our first basket of fries with a small dish of ranch dressing. We looked at each other and thought, “Why not?” We gave it a try, and we both liked it. This led me to experiment with ranch dressing on a baked potato when I didn’t have any sour cream. Now, it’s 50/55 (sour cream still wins) on whether I use sour cream or ranch on a baked potato.
This experience highlighted that there are no strict rules about dipping. Whether it’s French fries, chicken, or potatoes, ranch dressing can elevate the flavor of almost any dish. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find your personal favorite!
