05 - Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
06 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
07 - Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

09 - Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
