Ingredients
- 6 medium red potatoes, baked (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- Vegetable oil spray
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper

- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, process the remaining ingredients except the olives until smooth.

I like a recipe that is unique and has a little zip. Potatoes, I believe, are a little underrated for their vitamin fullness and how versatile they have always bee. I love the fact that these zesty spuds can be dipped. I think dip always makes food taste better, or so it seems.

I would sprinkle some jalapenos on top! I like spicy! These looks good for an appetizer or snack.
