Garlic Ranch Potato Wedges
Description
This recipe transforms russet potatoes into savory wedges with a ranch seasoning coating. After cutting the potatoes into wedges and tossing them with olive oil and ranch dressing mix, they bake at 375°F for about 25 minutes until fork-tender. Meanwhile, garlic is minced and melted into butter, which is brushed onto the potatoes right after baking to add a fresh garlic aroma and richness. The result is a balance between the crispy exterior and the soft interior of the wedges, complemented by a distinctive tang and herb flavor from the ranch mix. The recipe yields 32 wedges when potatoes are cut into 8 pieces each, though yields may vary with wedge thickness. Serve warm as a side to grilled meats or as a snack.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ranch dressing mix (1 packet)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- Scrub the potatoes and then slice them into wedges.
- Put potato wedges into a large bowl and drizzle olive oil over top. Add the ranch seasoning and toss to coat, ensuring all potatoes have an even coating.
- Place the potatoes onto a rimmed baking sheet, skin side down. Bake for 25 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, melt butter and add in the minced garlic. Stir together.
- As soon as potatoes come out of the oven brush them with the garlic butter and serve warm.
Notes
- Cutting each potato into 8 wedges yields about 32 wedges in total.
- Thinner wedges increase the total number of pieces.
