Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or bacon bits for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there’s enough space between each potato for even roasting.

        Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

          Prepare the Ranch Sauce: While the potatoes are roasting, in a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing with a pinch of smoked paprika for an extra flavor boost.

            Serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the smoked paprika ranch dressing over the warm potatoes or serve it on the side for dipping.

              Garnish: Top with fresh chopped parsley and optionally sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese or bacon bits for added flavor and texture.

                Enjoy: Serve these delicious smoked paprika ranch roasted potatoes as a delightful side dish or a tasty snack!
