Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) potatoes, washed and diced
Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Oil:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and cube the potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Drizzle olive oil generously over the potato cubes, ensuring each piece is lightly and evenly coated.
- Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix across the potatoes, tossing carefully to distribute the flavoring completely.
- Arrange potato cubes on a rimmed baking sheet in a single, non-overlapping layer to promote crispy edges.
- Place the baking sheet in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 25-35 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through cooking.
- Check potatoes for golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior, indicating they are perfectly roasted.
- Remove from oven and immediately scatter shredded cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.
- Gently season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy the cheesy, ranch-infused roasted potatoes while still warm and crispy.
Notes
- Experiment with different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for varied textures and flavors.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and better oil adherence.
- Create a dairy-free version by substituting dairy cheese with nutritional yeast or vegan cheese alternatives.
- Customize ranch seasoning intensity by adjusting homemade or store-bought mix to personal taste preferences.
