Ingredients:
2 lbs baby or small red/yellow potatoes, halved or quartered
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the potatoes: Clean and dry the potatoes. Depending on their size, cut them into halves or quarters and place them in a large bowl.
Season the potatoes: Coat them with olive oil and melted butter (optional). Sprinkle ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the potatoes are well covered in the seasoning.
Roast:
Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Cheese it up:
Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle the cheddar and Parmesan cheese over them, and return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and turns bubbly.
Garnish and serve: Once done, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Tips:
Feel free to use your favorite cheese varieties.
For added flavor, toss in some crispy bacon bits before serving.
Enjoy your cheesy potatoes!
