Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the quartered potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning and tenderness.
Add Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes.
Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for color and freshness. Serve the cheesy ranch roasted potatoes hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the pan to allow even roasting and crisp edges.
Try different cheese blends such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a flavorful twist.
These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats or make a delicious game day appetizer.
