Crispy grilled potato wedges seasoned with ranch spices and served with a creamy cheddar cream sauce. A quick and delicious snack or side perfect for casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each into 8 wedges about 1/2-inch thick.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the grill pan. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, turning gently with tongs, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the potatoes grill, mix shredded cheddar, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and chopped chives in a small bowl until smooth. Optionally pulse in a food processor for extra creaminess.
  6. Transfer the crispy wedges to a serving plate and serve warm with a generous dollop of cheddar cream on the side or drizzled on top.

Notes

For extra crispy wedges, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before seasoning and grilling. Avoid overcrowding the grill pan to prevent steaming. Let each side sear properly before flipping to avoid sticking and breaking. The cheddar cream can be made smoother by pulsing in a food processor and can be thinned with milk or buttermilk if desired. Store leftovers in airtight containers and reheat in toaster oven or broiler for best crispiness.
