Crispy Ranch Potatoes

May 23, 2018

Just because something is simple, doesn’t mean it can’t be delicious!

These potatoes are just that – simple and delicious! They’re fool proof and a total crowd pleaser! The seasonings are key – you gotta give those potatoes some flavaa!

I use my Ranch Seasoning Mix for this recipe. You could cut the recipe into thirds if you don’t feel like making that much. However, I assure you, it will not go to waste! I always keep some of it on hand to make a quick ranch dressing or dip! It comes together in seconds! No need to go buy those packets at the store that are filled with unnecessary ingredients! 🙂

These potatoes pair perfectly with just about anything – burgers, wraps, or even used as a topping for a bowl of soup! You can’t go wrong with these.

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper - easy clean up!
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss chopped potatoes, oil, and seasoning mix until all of the potatoes are coated evenly.
  4. Spread potatoes onto the baking sheet evenly. Be sure give them all space and not overcrowd them. This helps them crisp up!
  5. Bake potatoes for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Remove the potatoes from the oven and flip them. You don't have to flip every single one - you can just give the tray a nice little shake, if you desire. 😉
  7. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes until desired crispiness is achieved.
  8. Devour immediately!

  1. Ready for this....Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Done! You can definitely make this ahead of time too! It will only get better as you allow the flavors to combine and get happy! 🙂
  2. Feel free to add more or less BBQ sauce depending on your personal preference. The same goes for the celery salt! I'm obsessed with it...so I tend to add more.
  3. You can eat these like a wrap, treat it like a dip and serve it with chips or tostones, or just eat it with a big spoon! It's good any way you have it!

Ranch Turkey Burgers (Dairy-free and Whole30)

This recipe uses one of my favorite things…RANCH! These super juicy and zesty burgers are a nice way to switch things up on your next burger night! Feel free to use any type of ground meat that you have on hand. Personally, I think the “ranch” flavor shines the best with turkey or chicken, but it would taste delicious mixed with beef too!




Check out my handy, go-to Ranch Seasoning Mix that I used in this recipe. There’s also an option if you do not have that!

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. I like well seasoned foods! Therefore, I use a full 4 tablespoons of the ranch seasoning. The meat mixture will be a fairly sticky glob. However, you will still be able to form it into a patty easily, I promise! Your hands will just need a good washing afterwards!
  2. So I can easily divide it into 4 patties, I like to flatten the mixture in my bowl and gently score it into quarters.
  3. Take each section and flatten out into a 3/4"-1" thick patty. Press your fingers gently in the middle to create a dimple. You want the center to be a bit thinner (about 1/2" thick) to prevent your burgers from doming up in the middle.
  4. In a pan over medium-high heat, add your cooking oil. Allow the pan to heat up for a couple minutes. You want it to be nice and hot. Place your burgers in the pan and cook for your burgers for 3-4 minutes. You should hear a sizzle when you place the patties in the pan. The sizzle is key for a nice crust on your burger. When you have a nice golden brown crust, it's time to cook the other side!
  5. After a few minutes and the crust has formed, using a wide, flat spatula (makes for easier flipping), flip your burger and cook the other side for another 3-6 minutes - depending on your preferred doneness.**
  6. Top with your favorites! I like grilled onions, but some bacon and jalapeños would be delicious too!

**Cooking times:
