Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12x17-inch sheet pan (or 2 smaller pans) with parchment paper or foil.
For the potatoes
I like to use Yukon gold potatoes because they have thin skins that you don't have to peel. You can use another variety and peel them. Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes (about1-inch squares).
Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and add the olive oil and seasonings. With your clean hands toss everything well to coat.
Spread them into a single layer. (Leave room for the green beans.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F.
For the green beans
Meanwhile, prepare the green beans. Drain, then toss them in the oil and seasonings.
After the potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, add the green beans.
Cook another 10 to 15 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
For the Avocado Ranch
Peel the avocado and discard the pit.
Mash avocado in a bowl, then stir in the sour cream, lime juice, and seasonings.
Add the buttermilk a little at a time until it's the thickness you like.
Notes
I like the dressing chunky so I mash mine with a fork. If you want it smooth, you can pulse the avocado and sour cream in a food processor.
You can sub mayonnaise for part of the sour cream. However, if you use a food processor, cream the avocado first then stir the mayo in by hand. If mixed for too long, the mayo can change texture and/or separate.
