→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound smoked sausage, halal-certified, no pork
02 -
4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
03 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
04 -
1 packet ranch seasoning mix, halal-certified
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 -
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or a mix of favorite cheeses
→ Optional Toppings
09 -
1/2 cup sour cream, for serving
10 -
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
02 -
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 until evenly coated.
03 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer and scatter the sliced smoked sausage pieces evenly over the potatoes.
04 -
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 to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle 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.
05 -
Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Baby potatoes are ideal for roasting as they cook evenly and hold their shape. Feel free to experiment with different cheese blends for a unique flavor.
