Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly in the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon until crispy if it isnβt already prepared. Crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done, allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
In a large serving bowl, gently combine the roasted potatoes with ranch dressing, crumbled bacon, green onions, and parsley. Mix until the potatoes are well-coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature. For best flavor, you can refrigerate the salad for 1-2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
