Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 3/4” cubes (about 4 medium potatoes)
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp ranch seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place potatoes in a large bowl or gallon-size bag and drizzle with olive oil. Toss or stir well until potatoes are coated with the oil.
- Add the remaining ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add dry ingredients to potatoes. Shake in the bag or stir in the bowl until all potatoes are coated with the seasoning mix.
- Spread the potatoes out in an even, single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy.
Notes
Storing
- If you’re planning ahead, you can chop the potatoes up to a day in advance and store them in a bowl of cold water in the fridge. Drain and dry them well before coating.
- Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm the potatoes in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes to make them crispy again.
- Mix and match the seasonings - If roasted potatoes with ranch seasoning isn’t your thing, try taco, Cajun, or Italian seasoning instead.
- Sub in sweet potatoes - They’ll be softer and slightly caramelized but SO tasty with the DIY shake and bake coating.
- Finish with cheese - Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan or shredded cheddar over the potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking for an extra crispy and cheesy finish.
