Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes (preferably a mix of colors)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.

    Prep the Potatoes: Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes under cold water to get rid of any dirt. If any of the potatoes are larger than the others, cut them in half, ensuring all are roughly the same size for uniform cooking.

      Create the Seasoning Mix: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the olive oil and add in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, black pepper, and ranch seasoning mix. Whisk or stir the ingredients together until they are fully combined and form a cohesive mix.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the prepared halved potatoes to the seasoning mix in the bowl. Carefully toss the potatoes until they are all coated with the flavorful mixture, ensuring every piece gets an even amount of seasoning.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Then, spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they have space to roast properly and don’t steam.

            Roast the Potatoes: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking process, take a moment to toss the potatoes to ensure they are roasting evenly on all sides.

              Check for Doneness: After 25-30 minutes, take a fork and pierce one of the potatoes. It should feel tender inside while exhibiting a delightful crisp on the exterior.

                Garnish and Serve: Once cooked to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm as a savory side dish or as a delightful snack!
