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 and cut the baby potatoes in half or quarters.
  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, place the halved potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle half the ranch seasoning mix. Toss until well-coated.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the potatoes, spreading them out evenly.
  3. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  4. Remove from the oven, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the sausage and potatoes, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
