Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
Cheese and Seasoning:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
Oils and Herbs:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400F (200C) for optimal potato roasting.
- Combine diced potatoes in a mixing bowl with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper, ensuring each potato piece is thoroughly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Distribute the seasoned potatoes evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a single layer that allows for consistent browning and crispy texture.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating the sheet midway through cooking to promote uniform golden crispiness.
- After initial roasting, generously sprinkle shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes, returning them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from oven and transfer the cheesy potatoes to a serving dish, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch and added herbaceous flavor.
Notes
- Customize the ranch seasoning by mixing homemade dry ranch blend for lower sodium and preservative-free option.
- Cut potato chunks uniformly to ensure even roasting and consistent crispy texture throughout the dish.
- Consider using alternative cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
- Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes or cauliflower for low-carb or nutrient-dense variations that maintain the same delicious ranch and cheese essence.
