Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring rack is in the middle position for even roasting.
- Cut potatoes into uniform cubes to guarantee consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Drizzle olive oil over potato chunks, then generously coat with ranch seasoning mix, ensuring each piece is thoroughly seasoned.
- Arrange potato pieces in a single, uncrowded layer on a rimmed baking sheet, allowing space between cubes for proper crisping.
- Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through cooking to promote even browning and crisp exterior.
- When potatoes reach golden brown color and crisp edges, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the surface.
- Return baking sheet to oven for additional 3-5 minutes until cheese melts completely and becomes slightly bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow cheese to set and potatoes to cool slightly.
- Finish with a light dusting of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance overall flavor profile before serving hot.
Notes
- Swap ranch seasoning for a homemade blend to control sodium and additives, mixing dried herbs like dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for extra creamy texture and crispy exterior when roasting.
- Use low-fat cheese or nutritional yeast for a healthier, dairy-free alternative that still delivers rich, tangy flavor.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and prevent potatoes from sticking, ensuring perfectly crisp edges.
