Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Oil:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Combine diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper, thoroughly coating each potato piece.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, creating space between pieces for optimal crispiness.
- Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, rotating the tray midway through cooking to achieve uniform golden-brown edges and crisp exterior.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese over the roasted potatoes, covering the surface evenly.
- Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt completely and develop a slightly bubbling texture.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Customize ranch seasoning by mixing your own blend using dried herbs like dill, chives, and garlic powder for a personalized touch.
- Choose waxy potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for extra crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Cut potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness across the entire batch.
- Opt for low-fat cheese or dairy-free alternatives to make this recipe more diet-friendly without compromising flavor.
