Cheesy Ranch Potatoes Sausage (Printable Version)

Golden roasted potatoes and smoky sausage layered with cheddar and ranch seasoning for a flavorful, hearty dish.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 lb halal-certified smoked sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered

→ Seasonings and Oils

03 - 2 tbsp olive oil
04 - 1 packet halal-certified ranch seasoning mix
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1 tsp onion powder
07 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Dairy

08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

→ Garnish

10 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Set your oven to 400°F to prepare for roasting the potatoes evenly with a crispy finish.
02 - Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes for uniform cooking. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds to infuse flavor during roasting.
03 - In a small bowl, mix ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create a well-balanced spice blend.
04 - Toss the halved potatoes in olive oil and half of the seasoning mixture until thoroughly coated.
05 - Line a baking sheet with parchment or grease lightly. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer and evenly distribute sausage slices over them.
06 - Bake for 35-40 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden, stirring halfway to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
07 - Remove the baking sheet, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over potatoes and sausage, then return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
08 - Once melted, garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with optional sour cream dollop for extra creaminess.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Using baby potatoes shortens roasting time and ensures tenderness while holding shape.
02 - Halal certification is crucial to maintain dietary compliance for smoked sausage and ranch seasoning.
