Ingredients

Scale

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)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes roast to a golden crisp.
  2. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
  3. Slice the Smoked Sausage: Cut the sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds to allow thorough cooking and flavor infusion.
  4. Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. Coat the Potatoes: Toss the halved potatoes in olive oil and half of the seasoning mix until evenly coated.
  6. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line it with parchment paper or grease lightly to avoid sticking.
  7. Arrange Potatoes and Sausage: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a single layer and scatter the sausage slices over them.
  8. Roast: Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway, until potatoes are golden and tender.
  9. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top and bake for another 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish & Serve: Remove from oven, add chopped parsley, and serve hot with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use halal-certified smoked sausage to maintain dietary restrictions.
  • Baby potatoes work best for quick roasting and tenderness, but russet potatoes can be used if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste; add extra ranch or herbs for more flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives.
  • To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes with the seasonings.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated thoroughly for up to 3 days.
