Rated 3 out of 5 by emilyymariee04 from Overpowerful Some flavors overpowered others which lost some affect of the whole potato skin. My friend recommended mixing butter and the ranch powdered mix and spreading it on the skin part of the potato baking it for 10 minutes on the desired temperature, it lets you taste every flavor equally
