Ingredients
-
1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
-
Fresh parsley or chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Toss potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
-
Spread potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Remove from oven, sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes, and bake for an additional 3–5 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
-
Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispiness; use two pans if necessary.
Preheat the baking sheet for an extra-crispy crust.
Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
Best served immediately for optimal texture.
