Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 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)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
  3. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil and half the ranch mix until coated.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  2. Scatter the smoked sausage over the potatoes.
  3. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. Remove from oven, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Once the cheese is golden and bubbly, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot, dolloped with sour cream if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for a crispy texture. You can add seasonal vegetables or swap cheeses for a twist.
