Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut each potato lengthwise into thick slabs, about 1-inch wide.

      Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

        Coat the Potato Slabs: Add the potato slabs to the bowl and toss them gently in the seasoning mixture until each slab is well coated.

          Roast the Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potato slabs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

            Serve: Once the potato slabs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for added color and flavor. If desired, grate some Parmesan cheese over the hot potato slabs before serving.

              Enjoy: These Golden Ranch Roasted Potato Slabs can be served as a delicious side dish for steak, chicken, or a vegetarian meal. They are also perfect with a dipping sauce like ranch or spicy mayo. Dig in!
