Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400ðF (200ðC) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Wash and dry the baking potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into eighths (wedges).
-
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss gently to coat evenly.
-
Open the packet of Fiesta Ranch dip mix and sprinkle it over the oiled potatoes. Toss again to ensure all wedges are well-seasoned.
-
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even crisping.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Serve hot alongside any remaining dip mix mixed with sour cream or yogurt for dipping.

Note
For a vegan version, ensure the dip mix is vegan-friendly or make your own using vegan ranch seasoning, nutritional yeast, and spices.
To create the creamy chile dip, mix the remaining dry Fiesta Ranch mix with 1/2 cup of vegan sour cream or cashew cream and a splash of lime juice.
Potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
For extra crispiness, parboil the potato wedges for 5 minutes before baking, then pat dry thoroughly before oiling.
