Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (900g) baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
Seasoning Blend:
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce or 28 grams) ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish (Optional):
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 425F (220C) and prepare a baking sheet with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Thoroughly cleanse potatoes and slice into uniform halves or quarters, ensuring even cooking surfaces.
- Using a clean kitchen towel, meticulously dry potato pieces to eliminate excess moisture and promote crispiness.
- Transfer potatoes to a spacious mixing bowl, creating ample room for seasoning distribution.
- Drizzle olive oil over potatoes, then generously sprinkle ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Gently toss ingredients until each potato piece is completely and evenly coated with seasonings.
- Arrange seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, using tongs to flip potatoes midway through cooking to achieve golden brown edges.
- Verify doneness by checking for a crisp exterior and tender interior with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to enhance texture.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while potatoes remain hot and crispy.
Notes
- Pat potatoes completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
- Use parchment paper or a non-stick baking sheet to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Arrange potatoes with cut sides facing down for extra golden, crunchy edges.
- Customize seasoning by swapping ranch mix with taco, cajun, or Italian herb blends for variety.
