Let’s dive into how to make this flavor-packed side dish step by step.
🥔 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 pounds (about 900g) baby red or yellow potatoes (you can also use russet or Yukon gold, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and smokiness)
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor and crispiness)
🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Start by washing and drying the potatoes thoroughly. If you’re using baby potatoes, simply halve or quarter them so all pieces are roughly the same size — this ensures even cooking. If you’re using larger potatoes, peel them (optional) and cut into bite-sized cubes.
Tip: Dry potatoes roast better and crisp up more evenly, so pat them with paper towels before seasoning.
🧂 Step 2: Season Generously
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ranch seasoning mix, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to create a flavorful coating.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the garlic-ranch mixture. You want each potato to glisten with that delicious blend of herbs and oil.
Optional: Sprinkle in a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese at this stage if you want a crispy, cheesy crust on your potatoes.
