3-Ingredient Grilled Ranch Potatoes
Description
3-Ingredient Grilled Ranch Potatoes feature red baby potatoes tossed in olive oil and ranch seasoning, then grilled on skewers until tender. The use of ranch seasoning adds a savory herb and spice profile, complementing the natural earthiness of the potatoes. Grilling over low heat allows even cooking and a slightly crisp exterior. This recipe requires little preparation but delivers well-seasoned potatoes suitable for serving alongside grilled meats or as a casual appetizer. Including a dipping sauce can enhance the flavor and texture contrast.
The grilling process involves coating potatoes in oil and ranch seasoning in a bag for even coverage, then threading them on skewers for ease of turning. Cooking times vary by grill heat and potato size, with a fork-tender sign indicating doneness. Serving the potatoes warm ensures the best texture and flavor.
To add variety, serve the grilled potatoes with different dipping sauces such as ranch dressing or a mix of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce, which complement the seasoning and add moisture.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes baby
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (or other oil)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Wash, pat dry, and quarter potatoes (for larger ones you may need to chop into slightly smaller pieces, about 1 inch pieces).
- Place chopped potatoes in a large resealable bag. Drizzle olive oil into the bag, seal, and toss to coat the potatoes.
- Open the bag, sprinkle in half of the ranch seasoning, seal, toss to coat, then repeat with remaining seasoning.
- Thread potatoes on skewers. Grill over low heat for 10-20 minutes (depending on your grill and the size of your potatoes) turning throughout to ensure even cooking. When fork-tender, remove from grill and serve warm with cold ranch dressing if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cut potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces for consistent grilling and doneness.
- Thread potatoes on skewers for easy turning and even cooking on the grill.
- For added flavor, try serving with ranch dressing or a mix of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce as dips.
