How to Make This Recipe

- Microwave the potatoes with a 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe covered dish for 5 minutes, then drain any excess liquid.
- Directly in a large baking dish, mix together the potatoes, olive oil, and ranch seasoning. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer. If desired, season with additional salt and pepper.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
Tips and Substitutions
- You can use store-bought ready-made ranch seasoning in this recipe or you can make it homemade. Here is my Homemade Ranch Seasoning.
- Russet, fingerling, and white or yellow potatoes also work in this recipe. Simply halve or quarter them to nearly the size of a gumball.
- If you prefer larger-size roasted potatoes, start with larger baby potatoes or quarter regular potatoes to your desired size. Adjust the cooking time higher to reflect this change in size. It will likely take 10-15 more minutes of roasting.
- Want to add more flavor pizzazz to your Roasted Ranch Baby Potatoes? Add shredded cheese and cooked bacon pieces 10 minutes before the end of the baking time. They’re also great served with grated parmesan cheese on top. Sour cream and chives are also an excellent accent to these simple roasted ranch baby potatoes.
Storage
- To store leftover roasted potatoes, allow them to cool to room temperature and then transfer them to an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- You can also freeze these potatoes as well. First, freeze in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat these easy roasted ranch baby potatoes in the oven or microwave until heated through.
