Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
- 1 cup (225 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning and Oil:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange an oven rack at the middle position and heat to 400F (200C). Cover a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Dice potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even roasting. Place potato chunks in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over potatoes, then generously dust with ranch seasoning mix. Season with salt and black pepper, tossing thoroughly to guarantee complete coating.
- Distribute potato cubes across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer without overcrowding. Space potatoes to promote crispy edges and even browning.
- Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway to promote uniform crispness. Potatoes should develop golden edges and tender interiors.
- Remove potatoes from oven and immediately blanket with shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese. Return to oven for 4-5 minutes until cheese melts completely.
- Once cheese is bubbling and potatoes are golden, remove from oven. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant touch and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Opt for waxy potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Cut potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- For a lighter version, substitute regular cheese with low-fat alternatives or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
- Enhance flavor by adding extra herbs like dill, chives, or green onions to complement the ranch seasoning and create more depth.
