Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta dip mix (1.1 oz)

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 400ÃÂ°F (200ÃÂ°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Wash and dry the baking potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into eighths (wedges).
3
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss gently to coat evenly.
4
Open the packet of Fiesta Ranch dip mix and sprinkle it over the oiled potatoes. Toss again to ensure all wedges are well-seasoned.
5
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even crisping.
6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking, until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
7
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.
