Olive oil
Ranch seasoning mix
Grated Parmesan cheese
Shredded cheddar cheese
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Black pepper
Salt
Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions
- Prep the Potatoes
Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. Cut larger ones into bite-size pieces and halve very small potatoes. Dry them completely so they crisp well in the oven. - Coat with Seasonings
Place potatoes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss until coated. Sprinkle ranch seasoning, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well so every piece is evenly seasoned. - Arrange and Roast
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are deep golden and centers are tender. - Add the Cheese
Remove potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle shredded cheddar on top. Return the tray to the oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and bubbles. - Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot.
