Simple Cooking - Roasted Ranch Potatoes

·1 oz. pack of the Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Seasoning/Dressing
·2 lbs. of red potatoes, quartered
·1/4 C of vegetable oil (I have also used with olive oil)

Take the quartered potatoes and place in a gallon ziplock bag then pour in the hidden valley pack and the oil. Shake well to make sure that all potatoes are covered in oil and seasoning. Empty bag’s contents onto an ungreased pan and bake in the oven for 35 minutes on 450. The recipe doesn’t say this, but about halfway through, I just kinda move the potatoes and try to flip them over some just so they can get evenly cooked. It will also be easier to clean the pan once you’re done if you’ve jiggled the potatoes around in the pan a bit.

They have a good taste without any additional seasoning but of course you can add salt and pepper as necessary.
