Description
A warm, comforting dish with smoked sausage and tender baby potatoes, all smothered in melting cheese and ranch seasoning.
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 (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)
- 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 thoroughly 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 into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle half of the ranch seasoning mixture on top. Toss until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Scatter the sliced smoked sausage pieces over the potatoes.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Once the potatoes are golden and tender, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Notes
Optional: Add jalapeños for a spicy twist or use plant-based sausage for a vegetarian version.
