Start by cutting your potatoes into uniform sizes, ideally about 1 to 1.5 inches. This not only helps them cook evenly but also allows for the perfect amount of seasoning on each piece.

Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs baby potatoes (red or yellow), halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Optional: Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and toss the potatoes thoroughly until they are evenly coated.

      Add the Seasonings: Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper over the coated potatoes. Toss the mixture again, ensuring that all the potatoes are well-seasoned with the spice blend.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer with the cut sides facing down. This helps achieve a delightful crispiness.

          Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. The potatoes are ready when they turn golden brown and are tender enough to be pierced with a fork. For even cooking, stir the potatoes midway through the roasting time.

            Dress with Ranch: After removing the potatoes from the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the ranch dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss everything together to ensure each potato piece is well-coated.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the ranch-roasted potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle freshly chopped chives or parsley on top for a pop of color. Serve them warm as a flavorful side dish or enjoy as a tasty snack.
