Description

Cheesy Ranch Oven Roasted Potatoes are crispy, golden baby potatoes tossed in a flavorful ranch seasoning mix, then roasted to perfection and topped with melted cheddar cheese. This comforting side dish is perfect for family dinners, barbecues, or movie night snacks, offering a delicious blend of savory, cheesy, and herby flavors that turn simple potatoes into a hearty treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch dressing mix
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you want easier cleanup later.
  2. Make the seasoning mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly blended into a flavorful seasoning.
  3. Coat the potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the seasoning mixture in the bowl. Toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the mixture, ensuring maximum flavor on every bite.
  4. Arrange the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
  5. Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25 minutes. Halfway through, turn the potatoes to promote even cooking and browning.
  6. Add the cheese: After the initial roasting time, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Finish baking: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly and golden.
  8. Serve and garnish: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use baby potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • You can substitute shredded mozzarella or pepper jack cheese for cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • If fresh chives are unavailable, dried chives or parsley can be used as a garnish.
  • Make sure to turn the potatoes halfway during roasting to avoid uneven browning.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or your favorite BBQ dishes.
