Ingredients

2 lbs baby potatoes (or red/yellow potatoes), quartered

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Roast: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and fork-tender.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve: Remove from oven and top with chopped parsley, green onions, or bacon bits if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Make them extra crispy by spreading the potatoes out so they’re not crowded.
Use pepper jack or mozzarella for a cheesy twist.
These reheat well in the oven or air fryer.

Great served with sour cream or ranch dip on the side.
