Ranch Oven Roasted Potatoes Recipe

Sometimes the best recipes come from simply experimenting.  That is how I came up with this recipe for my Ranch Oven Roasted Potatoes.

The other day I was getting dinner ready and had some potatoes I needed to use up.  I wasn't energetic enough to make mashed potatoes, and I didn't have the starchy russet potatoes that are good for frying, so I went to my spice cabinet for inspiration.  In the back of the cabinet I came across this packet of ranch salad dressing mix.  I thought to myself "This has some potential" so I grabbed it and decided to take a chance.  Let's just say that these Ranch Oven Roasted Potatoes have since made a few appearances on my table and I can't wait to share with you how easy they are to make!

Let's Get Started!

Ranch Oven Roasted Potatoes:
*Prep Time:  5 min.  *Cook Time:  30 min.  *Difficulty:  Easy  *Servings:  4-6

Ingredients:


  • 5-6 Large Red Potatoes, cubed
  • 1 Package of Ranch Salad Dressing Mix
  • 1/4 c. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
To begin you will need to preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
Place a foil lined baking sheet in the oven while it is preheating.


A mixing bowl on the counter with potatoes in it and ranch mix being poured in.

In a mixing bowl combine the potatoes, ranch mix, olive oil, and pepper.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and give it a little spritz of cooking spray.
Pour the seasoned potatoes onto the hot baking sheet.
You should hear a sizzle.  This is a good thing.

Place in the 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, being sure to stir about half way through.
