- They pair well with any protein or main dish.
- Family friendly! The entire family loves these potatoes. What's not to love, ranch and potatoes together... yes please!
Roasted Ranch Potatoes Ingredients
Substitution Suggestions:
- Potatoes: Any type of potato will work. Russet, Yukon gold, or red potatoes are all yummy options. The little creamer potatoes are a really good choice too!
- Olive Oil: You can also use avocado oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, or any other neutral oil. I prefer olive oil for the taste.
- Seasonings: I like to make my own seasoning blend, but if you prefer you can use 2 tablespoons of already prepared ranch seasoning mix.
How to Make Oven Roasted Ranch Potatoes
- First, heat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut washed and scrubbed potatoes into bite size pieces, pat them dry and add them to a zip top bag or large bowl.
- Next, pour the olive oil over the potatoes and add the dried parsley, dill weed, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
- Zip the bag and toss the potatoes to coat them all. Alternatively, you can do this in a large bowl too.
- Now, Spread the potatoes out onto a prepared sheet pan.
- Finally, bake the potatoes for 15 minutes then flip the potatoes and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and pierce easily with fork.

Storing Roasted Potatoes
Storing: Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheating: These potatoes can be reheated in the microwave until warmed through or in the oven on low heat for 10-15 minutes. If you have an air fryer they are really good reheated in that for about 5 minutes. They are also very tasty when fried in a little butter on top of the stove over medium heat.
Tips for Making the Best Roasted Ranch Potatoes
- To make this recipe easy as possible, I do not peel the potatoes. The skin of the potato gets crisp and flavorful. However, if you have horrid feelings against potato skins, then feel free to peel them. The potatoes will still turn out great.
- Cut your potatoes all the same size for even cooking.
- For good crispy potatoes pat the potatoes dry after cutting.
- Use parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Lay the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet pan without overcrowding the pan. Too many potatoes on the pan will result in soggy potatoes instead of crispy ones.
- Flip the potatoes half way so all the potatoes are cooking and browning evenly.
