Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel and dice 4 medium russet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons melted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to coat evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, ensuring enough space between pieces.
- Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- While potatoes bake, combine 2 cups cooked shredded chicken, 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 sliced green onions in a bowl. Mix well.
- Remove potatoes from oven. Using a spoon, create a small well or mound on each potato cube and spoon a generous amount of the ranch chicken mixture on top.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes at 425°F (220°C), until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Dollop sour cream on top of each bite and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve warm, best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
Notes
Dry potatoes thoroughly after rinsing to ensure crispiness. Use a mix of butter and olive oil for best texture. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Flip potatoes halfway through baking for even browning. Watch oven closely to prevent burning. For dairy-free, substitute vegan cheese and sour cream. For low-carb, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or jicama cubes. Reheat leftovers in oven at 375°F for 10 minutes to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving.
