Instructions

Preheat 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 potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast: Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the hot potatoes and return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Use red potatoes, Yukon gold, or russets — whatever you have works!

Add a pinch of paprika or cayenne for a little heat.

These are great with sour cream or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
