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 (make sure it’s 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

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters.
  • Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning mixture. Toss the potatoes until they’re evenly coated.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Cooking

  • Evenly spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Scatter the sliced smoked sausage pieces over the potatoes.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes and sausage. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

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

Notes

For extra flavor, let the seasoned potatoes sit for 10-15 minutes after coating. For crispier potatoes, broil for the last 3-5 minutes. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions.
