Notes:

  1. Customize Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the amount of ranch seasoning mix to suit your taste preferences. You can also add other herbs or spices for extra flavor.
  2. Cheesy Variation: Experiment with different types of cheese such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses to create your own cheesy twist on this dish.
  3. Crispy Texture: For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
