Description
Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage is a flavorful dish combining savory smoked sausage, tender baby potatoes, and creamy cheddar cheese, seasoned with ranch and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound smoked sausage (halal-certified, no pork)
- 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (halal-certified)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters.
- Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Evenly spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Scatter the sliced smoked sausage pieces over the potatoes, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway through.
- Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes and sausage.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use halal-certified smoked sausage (turkey or beef).
- Baby potatoes cook quickly and hold their shape.
