Ingredients
- Potatoes: If you can't find baby potatoes, feel free to substitute them with regular potatoes - just make sure to cut them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking of these roasted potatoes with ranch.
- Butter: The butter does double duty here, adding a rich, decadent flavor while also helping the potatoes achieve that coveted golden-brown crust. If you're dairy-free or vegan, you can easily substitute with plant-based butter or even olive oil.
- Ranch Seasoning: Dry ranch seasoning is readily available in most grocery stores, but you can easily make your own with cleaner ingredients using my homemade ranch seasoning mix.
- Garlic: If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder instead. You could also add onion powder for an extra burst of flavor.
- Salt and pepper: Feel free to adjust the amount according to your personal preference.

Tips and Tricks
- Patience Is Key: Resist the urge to peek into the oven every few minutes. Let the potatoes roast undisturbed for the first 20 minutes before giving them a stir. This will ensure they get that perfect, crispy exterior.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Once your potatoes are cooked, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives, dill, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream. You can also add shredded cheddar cheese at the end of the cooking time and turn this into a cheesy ranch potatoes recipe!
- Drizzle or Dip: I like to serve this recipe with my Greek yogurt ranch dressing. Of course, you can buy ranch dressing or make it from a packet.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can reheat them in a baking pan in the oven or in the microwave. W
hen reheating in the oven, give them a drizzle of vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil to help them crisp back up.
