Drizzle italian dressing and these 2 ingredients over cubed red potatoes into a sheet pan for a simple side dish you’ll make on repeat

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a large sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or rub it with a little vegetable oil so the potatoes don’t stick.

Scrub the red potatoes well and pat them dry. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly. Scatter the cubed potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.

Give the potatoes a light sprinkle of salt and pepper if using. This helps season them from the start, but keep in mind your Italian dressing and Parmesan will also add salt.

Drizzle the store-bought Italian dressing evenly over the cubed red potatoes right on the sheet pan. You want most of the potatoes to get a little shine from the dressing, but they don’t need to be swimming in it.

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder evenly over the dressed potatoes. Use clean hands to gently toss everything together right on the pan, turning the potatoes so they’re lightly coated with the dressing, cheese, and garlic. Spread them back into a single layer, with as many cut sides down as possible for extra browning.

Place the sheet pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once about halfway through, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the edges are golden and crisp.

Taste a potato and adjust seasoning at the end if needed, adding a pinch more salt or a light extra drizzle of Italian dressing if you like a brighter flavor. Serve the potatoes hot, right from the pan, or transfer to a warm serving dish.
