These Cheesy Ranch Potatoes (ft. Mystic Cheese Co.) are so satisfyingly simple to make. It requires minimal effort considering the amount of flavor, which I am totally here for! It’s easy to adjust, so let your tastebuds lead the way! Recipe as follows:
Fill a medium pot with one inch of water, then place a steamer basket inside. Place the potatoes in the steamer basket, cover, then bring water to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 12-15 minutes. In the meantime, prepare and measure remaining ingredients.
For the dressing, melt butter then mix with ranch seasoning, parsley, cheese, and black pepper. Stir until combined.
When the potatoes are ready, roughly halve the pieces into bite-sized chunks, then transfer to a mixing bowl.

Notes:
- Seasoning with sea salt is optional. I typically omit it since the ranch and cheese I use is salty enough for me, however, your cheese may be less salty, so taste test always and adjust to your personal preferences.
- Similarly, use as much or as little melted butter as you’d like. This recipe is meant for adapting. I prefer using unsalted butter since I find everything else to be salty enough for my tastebuds. Again again, do you!
- Use dry parsley for a milder (less herbaceous) taste. Use fresh parsley if you’d prefer more bite.
- You can make this vegan by using plant-based substitutes, like vegan ranch powder and vegan cheese!
