Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 red potatoes, diced and cubed
Seasoning and Coating
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch dry seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dash of garlic pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Dice and cube your red potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Coat with Oil: Place the potato cubes in a large ziplock bag, add the olive oil, seal, and shake well to coat all the potatoes thoroughly.
- Add Seasonings: Add the ranch seasoning mix and parmesan cheese into the ziplock bag, then shake again until all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and cheese.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with foil and spray generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spread the coated potatoes evenly on the foil.
- Season: Sprinkle the salt and a dash of garlic pepper evenly over the potatoes for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Stir halfway through baking for even crispness if desired.
Notes
- Use red potatoes for the best texture; other types may result in different textures.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe can be doubled easily by using a larger baking sheet or two sheets.
- Ranch seasoning mix can be substituted with a combination of dried herbs like dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder if desired.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness instead of the microwave.
