Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure those potatoes roast perfectly.

Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

In a large bowl, place the halved potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with half the ranch seasoning mix. Toss until well-coated.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the potatoes.

Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle cheddar cheese over the sausage and potatoes. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
