Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and optimal potato roasting.
- Thoroughly wash potatoes and dice them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, melted butter, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful coating.
- Add potato cubes to the seasoning mixture, tossing carefully to ensure each piece is evenly and generously coated with the aromatic blend.
- Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to promote crispy edges and thorough roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes, allowing it to melt and create a golden, crispy cheese crust.
- Remove from the oven when potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside, with melted cheese creating an irresistible top layer.
- Let the potatoes rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set and flavors to meld together.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are cut into equal-sized cubes for consistent cooking and crispy texture throughout.
- Use fresh, high-quality ranch seasoning mix to maximize flavor depth and aromatic profile.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to guarantee crispy edges and perfect roasting results.
- For a healthier version, substitute regular cheese with low-fat cheddar or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free alternative.
