A hearty, comforting one-pan dish that combines tender roasted potatoes, smoky sausage, and gooey melted cheese with a burst of ranch flavor. Perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings!
1 lb (450 g) halal-certified smoked sausage (turkey or beef)
4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
2 tbsp olive oil
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (halal-certified)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)
½ cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes for even cooking.
Slice the smoked sausage into ¼-inch rounds.
In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil and half of the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even roasting.
Scatter the sliced sausage over the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar over the potatoes and sausage.
Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Optional: add a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.
Cheese Variations: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack for a different twist.
Extra Veggies: Add bell peppers or red onions to the roasting pan for more flavor.
Crispier Potatoes: Use a high-sided baking sheet and avoid overcrowding.
