Ultimate Crispy Ranch Smashed Potatoes
- 24 ounces baby Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons powdered ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley)
- Optional toppings: crumbled cooked bacon, sour cream, shredded cheese, scallions, buffalo shredded chicken, crumbled blue cheese
- Place potatoes in a saucepan, and cover with water by 2 inches, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt. Bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-high, and boil until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Whisk together butter, oil, and ranch mix in a small bowl until well blended. Drizzle approximately 1/2 teaspoon butter mixture over each potato. Bake in preheated oven until edges of skin are golden and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Add your favorite toppings. Serve as an appetizer or a side dish.
