Crispy Parmesan Ranch Potatoes

Easy side dish, appetizer, or snack, these Crispy Ranch Potatoes are simple to make and so addicting. You won’t be able to stop eating them!

These Crispy Parmesan Ranch Potatoes are dangerously good! I could sit down and polish off a big plate all by myself. The inside is nice and creamy (like a potato should be) and the outside has this incredible ranch parmesan crust that is totally irresistible.

This recipe was an inspiration following a viral trend on social media. Potatoes scored with tic tac toe markings, then brushed with a buttery parmesan mixture, and baked until golden and crisp. I wanted to create a super easy version that didn’t require the extra steps and still produced a crunchy exterior.

I’m not one to toot my own horn but these Crispy Parmesan Ranch Potatoes far exceeded my expectations. Like, restaurant quality type exceeded. I love this recipe because it doesn’t require a lot of hands on, it’s so easy to throw together on a whim, and of course, they are crazy good!

Ingredients For Crispy Parmesan Ranch Potatoes:

• Baby potatoes (such as red, gold, or fingerling) cut in half lengthwise
• Olive oil
• Melted butter
• Ranch seasoning mix
• Grated parmesan cheese
• Black pepper
• Parsley or chives for garnish

As you can see the ingredients are simple but WOW, do they turn regular boring potatoes into delicious little crispy bites!

What Is The Best Dipping Sauce For Parmesan Ranch Potatoes?

Our favorite is good ol’ trusty ranch. I like the coolness the ranch offers these potatoes when they come out of the oven. A simple aioli or marinara would also be great.

How To Make Crispy Parmesan Ranch Potatoes:

The steps are super easy and the great thing about these roasted potatoes, is you don’t even have to flip them half way through. They go into a hot oven, and when the timer is up, they are ready to be enjoyed. Or rather devoured. I love that!

Step 1. Preheat oven to 425℉ and grease a large sheet pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2. In a large bowl add halved potatoes and the following 5 ingredients. Toss potatoes until well coated. You’ll see clumps of the parmesan ranch mixture on some of the potatoes and that’s okay.

Step 3. Place potatoes on prepared sheet pan flesh side down, making sure some of the parmesan mixture is trapped under them. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Some of the mixture will set loosely on the pan and that’s what you want.

Step 4. Roast in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until fork tender and crisp. No need to flip or toss half way through. Garnish with parsley or chives and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

We like these hot out of the oven but they are still wonderful at room temperature; which makes these a great snack or appetizer for a party.

Tips:

• Oven temperatures will vary depending on the oven type. You may need to adjust the heat to make sure they don’t get too crisp before the potatoes are done on the inside.
• Try different seasonings. If you don’t want the ranch flavor, use your favorite seasoning blend along with the rest of the ingredients.
