Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into equal-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub and dice your russet potatoes into equal-sized cubes to ensure even roasting. Pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve that crisp texture.
  2. Toss with Seasoning and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Arrange and Roast: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway to promote even browning.
  4. Add Cheese and Finish Roasting: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the hot potatoes for a burst of color and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature potatoes by letting them sit out for 15 minutes before roasting to help them cook evenly.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; spreading potatoes in a single layer ensures maximum crispiness and prevents steaming.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through baking to brown all sides evenly.
  • Customize the ranch seasoning amount based on desired flavor intensity.
  • Add cheese toward the end of roasting to achieve perfect melting without burning.
