Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds russet or red potatoes, quartered
Seasoning
- 1 packet (1 ounce) Hidden Valley Ranch dressing/seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set this aside for later use.
- Season Potatoes: Place the quartered potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the entire packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning over the potatoes. Drizzle the vegetable oil on top. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure each potato piece is evenly coated with both the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange and Bake: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes. Monitor for a golden-brown color and crispiness, flipping or stirring halfway through if desired for even cooking. Once done, the potatoes should be tender inside and nice and crisp outside.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve warm as a tasty side dish to your favorite main courses. Enjoy!
Notes
- Using russet potatoes will give a fluffier interior, while red potatoes hold their shape better for a firmer bite.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for extra flavor after roasting.
- For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Make sure to cut potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- This recipe can be doubled easily by using a larger baking sheet or cooking in batches.
