Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage is the ultimate comfort food recipe—crispy roasted potatoes, smoky sausage, tangy ranch seasoning, and melted cheese baked to perfection. Perfect for family dinners, weeknights, or gatherings.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage (halal-certified, sliced into ¼-inch rounds)

  • 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

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses)

  • ½ cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut baby potatoes in halves or quarters. Pat dry for extra crispiness.

  3. Slice the Sausage: Cut smoked sausage into ¼-inch rounds.

  4. Mix Seasonings: In a bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

  5. Coat the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with half the seasoning mix.

  6. Assemble on Baking Sheet: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread potatoes in a single layer and scatter sausage slices on top.

  7. Roast: Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden and tender.

  8. Add Cheese: Remove from oven, sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly, and return for 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.

  9. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot with sour cream on the side.

Notes

  • For extra crisp potatoes, don’t overcrowd the pan.

  • Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavors.

  • Add bell peppers or zucchini for a veggie boost.

  • Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for up to 1 month.
