Ingredients

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, cleaned and cut into quarters or halves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2–3 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning mix or 1–1 1/2 packets store-bought ranch seasoning
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese and Garnish

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of choice (can swap for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese or cheese of choice (can swap for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives for garnish
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the quartered Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are well coated with the seasoning.
  3. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  4. Add Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a more refined presentation, transfer the roasted potatoes to a casserole dish before adding the cheese and baking.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped chives and green onions. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Storage Tips: Let the roasted potatoes cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for 3 to 4 days. To reheat and maintain crispiness, warm them in a 375°F oven for 10–15 minutes, or microwave smaller portions.
  • Freezing Instructions: To freeze, omit the cheese before roasting and freeze the cooked potatoes in a single layer in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then add cheese and reheat in the oven before serving.
