Instructions
- Scrub your potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks. This size ensures they cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
- In a small bowl, mix the crumbled bouillon cube with the ranch seasoning packet. This mixture will add a depth of flavor to the potatoes.
- Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C). Tear off four 15-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Divide the potatoes evenly among the foil pieces. Drizzle the ranch and bouillon seasoning mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with cracked pepper.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the potatoes, making sure the packets are tightly sealed to prevent juices from spilling. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender. If you prefer an extra crispy finish, open the foil packets and broil for 3-4 minutes to brown the tops.
Notes
Use fresh potatoes: Freshly harvested red or gold potatoes will yield a creamier texture.
Make ahead: You can assemble the foil packets ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
Extra crispy potatoes: Open the foil packets during the last 5 minutes of baking to get an even crispier texture.
