Garlic Powder – Adds a little extra garlic flavor that pairs perfectly with the ranch.
Onion Powder – Adds another layer of savory flavor to the potatoes.

How To Make It

Heres how to make these delicious potatoes. You can find the full ingredients list along with measurements in the instructions below.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and thoroughly dry the baby potatoes, then slice them in half. Add the potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Season with ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet with the cut sides facing down. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing or flipping about half way through, until golden brown and tender. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Pro Tips

Dry the potatoes well. Removing excess moisture helps them roast instead of steam.
Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give the potatoes a little room so they can develop those crispy edges.
Start them cut-side down. The flat side gets beautifully browned against the hot baking sheet.
Watch the salt. Ranch seasoning already contains salt, so you can always start with less and add more after roasting.
Cooking times can vary. Larger baby potatoes may need a few additional minutes in the oven.

Variations

Cheesy Ranch Potatoes – Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the potatoes during the last few minutes of roasting.
Spicy Ranch Potatoes – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
Smoky Ranch Potatoes – Add a little smoked paprika to the seasoning mixture.
Extra Garlicky – Increase the garlic powder or toss the finished potatoes with a little freshly minced garlic and melted butter.

What to Serve With Them

These potatoes are such an easy side dish because they work with almost anything. Serve them alongside roasted or grilled chicken, steak, pork chops, burgers, salmon or even eggs for breakfast or brunch. They’re also great paired with a simple vegetable like asparagus, broccoli or green beans.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover roasted ranch baby potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

For the best texture, reheat them in a 400°F oven or air fryer until warmed through and crispy again. You can also microwave them, but they won’t be quite as crispy.

You can freeze the cooked potatoes in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, although their texture may be slightly softer once thawed. Reheat them directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer for the best results.
