Cheesy Ranch Potatoes Smoked Sausage (Print-Friendly Version)

Crispy potatoes, smoked sausage, ranch seasoning, and cheddar cheese combine in this savory oven bake.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main

01 - 1 pound halal-certified smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
02 - 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Seasoning Blend

04 - 1 packet halal-certified ranch seasoning mix
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Topping and Garnishes

08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or cheese blend
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream, for serving (optional)
10 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure optimal roasting conditions for potatoes.
02 - Wash and halve or quarter baby potatoes for even cooking. Slice smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
03 - In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
04 - Place potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with half the seasoning mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
05 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Distribute smoked sausage slices evenly over potatoes.
06 - Roast in preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway to ensure uniform cooking.
07 - Remove pan from oven, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with sour cream as desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure the sausage used is halal and pork-free for dietary compliance. Baby potatoes offer a creamy texture and hold up well to roasting. Adjust cheese variety to preference for a different flavor profile.
