I’ve never been a gnocchi fan. There. I’ve said it. In all honesty: I think it’s the most boring food in the world. But my son, well, the kid loves all things even remotely related to Italian food. If it as much as looks Italian, he’ll eat it. Gnocchi isn’t something I’d want to make myself. Granted, home-made does taste somewhat better, but I still find it boring. So now…
These potatoes are a ‘quick’ variation to the more classic French Pommes de Terre Byron. I’ll post the original recipe as well, but simply had to start with these. They still take a bit of work, but mainly it’s oven-time. The first few words I muttered after taking a bite of these was: “What are these and how come I don’t have this recipe yet?“.

I’m always trying to come up with new recipes for roasted potatoes, and well, these are fabulous. And not just because of the jalapeño. No, really. I made a slightly different ranch seasoning and used it not only for my roasted potatoes,…
And here’s another super easy ‘what to do with ranch seasoning mix‘ recipe: Ranch Roasted Potatoes, even though I think the name doesn’t fully cover the load. You see, I found a recipe for basic ranch roasted potatoes over at the Hidden Valley website and, tasty as it looked, I figured I could perhaps do some more with it. Up the flavors a bit.
