  • 6 Tbsp. herb butter (see below)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups 0% Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup mayo
  • ½ packet of ranch seasoning
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup green onion, diced
  • ¼ white onion, diced

  • 2 tsp. parsley
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder or 1 Tbsp. fresh minced garlic

Instructions

  1. For the herb butter, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds and mix in all of the herbs. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 425˚F. Place potato slices in a cast iron skillet and pour the herb butter over top. Bake the potatoes for about 20 minutes.

Heinen's Grocery Store

By Heinen's Grocery Store

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
