Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Prep the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Make sure they are relatively uniform in size so that they cook evenly.

Season and Roast the Potatoes:

Toss the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and the ranch seasoning mix. Make sure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Prepare the Cheese Sauce:

Make the Cheese Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the sour cream, milk, and shredded cheese. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Check the Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Combine and Bake:

Combine Potatoes and Cheese Sauce: Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the sauce.
Bake Again: Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish: Once the Cheesy Ranch Potatoes are out of the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped green onions or chives, and optionally, some fresh parsley.
Serve: Serve the Cheesy Ranch Potatoes warm, and enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness!
