When summer arrives, the last thing many of us want is to spend hours in a hot kitchen. That’s why easy, flavorful meals and side dishes are always on the menu — and The Little Potato Company’s A Little Homestyle Ranch microwave-ready kit makes summer cooking simple.

The kit brings together America’s favorite ranch flavor with The Little Potato Company’s signature little yellow potatoes for a comforting side dish the whole family will love. It’s a convenient option for busy weeknight dinners, backyard barbecues, or gatherings with friends and family.

The best part? It’s ready in just minutes. The kit includes pre-washed little potatoes in a steamable tray along with a classic ranch seasoning packet. Simply microwave the potatoes for five minutes, add the seasoning, and enjoy.

Because Little Potatoes come pre-washed, require no peeling, and are small enough that they don’t need to be cut, prep is quick and easy — meaning less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying summer with your family.

Turn It Into A Crowd-Pleasing Recipe
While the A Little Homestyle Ranch kit is delicious on its own, it also makes a great base for creative recipes. One summer favorite is Ranch Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon — a flavorful dish that’s perfect for a barbecue, picnic, or family gathering.

To make it, cook a package of maple bacon and crumble it into pieces. Then sauté about a half pound of fresh string beans (snapped in half) in approximately a quarter cup of bacon grease. Add garlic powder, a dash of salt and pepper, rosemary, and olive oil, and cook until the green beans are tender.

Next, prepare The Little Potato Company’s A Little Homestyle Ranch kit in the microwave for five minutes. Place the seasoned ranch potatoes into a serving dish, then top with the bacon and the sautéed green beans.

The result is an easy, delicious summer side dish packed with creamy ranch flavor, fresh vegetables, and crispy bacon — without spending hours in the kitchen.
