Ranch Potatoes Smoked Sausage (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 180 grams shredded cheddar or mixed cheese
02 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, ground
03 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (halal-certified version)
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 900 grams baby potatoes, cut into halves or quarters
08 - 450 grams smoked sausage, halal-certified, sliced into 6 mm thick rounds

→ To Serve (Optional)

09 - Handful of chopped fresh parsley
10 - 120 ml sour cream

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Throw on some parsley and bring it to the table. If you want, scoop on some sour cream for extra goodness.
02 - Take the sheet out, top everything with a heap of shredded cheese, and slide it back into the oven for another 5 minutes. You're looking for bubbly, melted cheese all over.
03 - Roast the tray for about 35 to 40 minutes in your hot oven. Flip everything around about halfway so you get all those crispy bits you want.
04 - Lay your coated potatoes in a single layer on your prepped baking sheet. Scatter the sausage slices right on top.
05 - Dump potatoes into a big mixing bowl, pour in the olive oil, and toss with half your seasoning. Get your hands in there and make sure every piece is covered.
06 - Mix your ranch, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper together in a little bowl so it’s ready to go.
07 - Give the baby potatoes a quick rinse, then chop them into halves or quarters depending on size. Cut the sausage into 6 mm rounds so it cooks evenly.
08 - Heat your oven up to 200°C. Line your baking tray with paper or spray it so nothing sticks.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Spread out your potatoes—don't pack the tray or they won't get crispy.
02 - Baby potatoes stand up great to roasting and cook up faster than bigger ones.
03 - You can switch up the cheese if you want—try mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or spicy pepper jack.
