Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Potatoes: Slice each potato lengthwise into thick slabs about 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 3-4 slabs per potato, depending on their size.

Season the Oil: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a cohesive seasoning oil.

Coat the Potatoes: Add the potato slabs to the bowl and toss gently until each slab is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Place the potato slabs on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overlapping.

Roast the Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slabs halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and, if desired, add some grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost.

Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish or snack, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or simply on their own.
