This is a quick and easy recipe loaded with so much flavor! Lots of recipes use the Hidden Valley seasoning packet and vegetable or canola oil. You can make these potatoes into a healthy dish by using a few simple pantry staples.

What Type of Potatoes to Use
I love to use baby Dutch golden potatoes for this recipe. I also like the mix of baby potatoes that includes red and purple potatoes.
You can also use russet, Yukon gold, red potatoes, or even sweet potatoes. If using sweet potatoes, check out my Sweet Potato Hash recipe.
Typically, each of these varieties will have a similar cook time. Watch the potatoes closely for accurate timing.
Ranch Seasoning
I like to use my Homemade Ranch Seasoning in this recipe. The store-bought packets include ingredients like maltodextrin, artificial flavor, and carboxymethyl cellulose (used to thicken and create creamy texture).
Carboxymethyl cellulose is a water-soluble cellulose ether obtained by chemical modification from natural cellulose such as cotton linter or wood pulp.
Maltodextrin is a white, starchy powder that manufacturers add into many foods to improve their flavor, thickness, or shelf life. Maltodextrin is a common ingredient in packaged foods, such as pastries, candies, and soft drinks. Maltodextrin is high on the glycemic index (GI), meaning that it can cause a spike in your blood sugar.
I feel like I'm better off simply making my own. It's pretty easy. Feel free to use store bought seasonings if you wish.
How to Make Roasted Ranch Potatoes
The full ingredients with serving size and detailed instructions are listed in the recipe card below.

Potatoes Texture
The potatoes are crispy on the outside with a soft interior.
Do You Have to Soak Them?
No, generally with recipes like fries I soak the potatoes in water to remove excess starch. This helps the potatoes crisp while frying. Since these are designed to have a soft interior, no soaking is necessary.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds yellow baby Dutch potatoes See notes.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Homemade Ranch Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chives I used dried, you can also use fresh.
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. Slice the potatoes in half.
- Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl and drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and season with the chives, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to taste. Be sure to salt the potatoes, they will lack flavor without the salt.
Air Fryer
- Add the potatoes to the air fryer. Do not overfill the basket. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry for 10 minutes on 400 degrees.
- Open the air fryer and shake the basket. Air fry for an additional 2-7 minutes until the potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender to touch when pierced with a fork.
Oven and Bake
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and load the potatoes onto the sheet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender to touch when pierced with a fork. Use your judgment and add additional time if necessary.
Notes
- Cook times will vary as every air fryer and oven cook at varying speeds. Keep a close watch.
- My favorite way to make these is using the air fryer. They cook a lot faster and have a noticeable difference in texture.
- You can also use russet, Yukon gold, red potatoes, or even sweet potatoes. If using sweet potatoes, check out my Sweet Potato Hash recipe.
- If you want to use a store-bought ranch packet use 1 ounce.

We had these last night, and they were the perfect side dish for our burgers! I love how such simple ingredients come together so deliciously, and the air fryer made it so quick and easy! The homemade ranch seasoning is so good!
staysnatched says
So glad you enjoyed it!
Felicia says
I don’t care for ranch dressing. Brandi explains all of the icky ingredients in those packets and now I know why I’ve never liked it. I actually love all of the seasoning in this recipe so it’s a no brainer. These potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. The seasoning was on point! I made them in the air fryer oven (I saw it on your stories!). This is an easy and versatile side dish. Thank you!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed it.
Marleigh says
So delicious! Made these for breakfast with chicken sausage, arugula, and a fried egg. The potatoes came out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Super easy, and Brandi's tips helped a lot (especially about salting the potatoes). Thanks for another approachable and tasty recipe!!
staysnatched says
That sounds so good!
Kyle Davis says
My boyfriend and I made (with the oven because we are peasants and haven’t committed to buying and air fryer yet) and they were so easy and very tasty. We loved the homemade Rach seasoning and decided next time we were going to add even more!
We mixed in sweet potatoes too which was delicious. Thanks Brandi!
staysnatched says
haha! So glad you enjoyed them.
Alicia says
These were so easy and delicious! They will be on repeat in our house. My only regret is not making the ranch dipping sauce! Next time...
staysnatched says
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
EKS says
My potatoes turned out perfectly - so flavorful and crispy on the outside but soft in the middle! Loved this combo of spices and I already had 3 of 4 on hand. I needed fresh chives for another recipe, so that worked out perfectly. Used the same seasonings on some roasted asparagus as well to round out my meal of salmon + these potatoes + asparagus, for a lovely and easy evening dinner!
staysnatched says
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Jessica says

Madison Johnston says
These were AMAZING. I looooove potatoes, and they were 10x better this way (don’t skip the homemade ranch recipe!) than when I make them with hidden valley mix. Will definitely be a new regular addition to our lineup.

These potatoes were so delicious, perfectly cooked, and easy to make! I had to idea how easy it was to make your own ranch seasoning - never buying the packet again! Thanks Brandi for an amazing recipe as always!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! So happy you enjoyed it.
Mary Latrick says
I made these yesterday and they were perfect. So much faster than roasting them in the oven and the recipe was spot on for the timing and temp in the air fryer. They were perfectly seasoned. Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. Thank you Brandi for such quality recipes and for taking so much time to test and perfect what you put out. It is so appreciated!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed them!

Nielle says
Easy, quick, and absolutely delicious! As someone who eats dairy free most of the time ranch is always something I’m missing. This gave me all of the great ranch flavor on one of my favorite vessels - potatoes!

Made these potatoes this past weekend for a wine and steak dinner with our friends, and these potatoes knocked everyone’s socks off! They were so dang good. Love that it had the ranch flavor without all the processed junk that comes in a packet.

I really liked the flavor on these and they were super easy to make. I did them in the oven but I look forward to trying them in the air fryer as well. Used dried chives for the seasoning, then also sprinkled fresh chives after they were cooked- very good!
staysnatched says
I'm so glad to hear that!
LaKenya says
Let me start off by saying this Brandi doesn’t miss!! These roasted ranch potatoes with the homemade rams seasoning were so delicious!! As a matter of fact, I’m eating them as im tying this review. So easy and simple and very flavorful!
staysnatched says
Yay! So glad you enjoyed them!
Theresa says
Delicious and simple! Started it with the lemon pepper fish in the oven and then finished them off to get crispy. The homemade seasoning was so great and elevated these potatoes. Paired with the air fryer green beans and lemon pepper fish and the lemon butter sauce on these was great! Thanks Brandi!
staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Becky says
I’ve made these twice recently because as the title suggests they are easy. The homemade seasoning is a great touch, and if you use the colorful potatoes it comes across as an impressive and tasty side.

I'm glad you enjoyed them!
