Ingredients in Roasted Ranch Potatoes

• Potatoes - we use red potatoes for this recipe, but you could substitute Yukon gold, fingerling or even Russet potatoes.
• Oil - we love avocado oil but you could also use olive oil.
• Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning - you can buy these ranch dressing mix packets at the store in the salad dressing aisle. They should come in 1-ounce packages. It’s also incredibly simple to make your own! Just refer to the recipe below.
• Salt and Pepper

Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix

If you would prefer to make your own homemade dressing mix, here’s a simple recipe. All you need to do is mix together the following ingredients and store in a spice jar or small airtight container:

• 2 teaspoons dried dill
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 2 tablespoons garlic salt (or half garlic powder, half salt)
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

How to Make Ranch Roasted Potatoes

1. Mix potatoes and seasoning. Wash and cut potatoes into quarters, or 1 ½” chunks and place in a large bowl or a ziplock bag. Drizzle them with 3 tablespoons of avocado oil, toss to coat the potatoes evenly, then add the packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning mix and toss again until coated evenly.
2. Arrange on a baking sheet. Coat a baking sheet with another 3 tablespoons of avocado oil, spreading it evenly. Remove potatoes from the ziplock bag and pour onto the baking sheet. Place the potatoes on an even layer on the baking sheet.
3. Bake. In an oven preheated to 425 degrees, bake potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes begin to brown. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and cook for another 10-15 minutes so the other side can brown and crisp.
4. Serve. Once the potatoes are brown and golden, remove from the oven and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
