Ingredients
  

Key Ingredients
  • 1 pound smoked sausage (ensure it’s halal-certified, no pork)
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (check for halal certification)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese mix you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half or quarters for even cooking.
  3. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. Toss the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl with olive oil and half of the ranch seasoning mix until well coated.
  6. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet; avoid overcrowding for the crispiest texture.
  2. Scatter the sliced smoked sausage evenly over the potatoes.
  3. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes turn golden and tender.
  4. Once golden, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to bubble and melt.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley for a delightful finishing touch. Serve while hot, with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

Consider adding chopped bell peppers or onions before roasting for added flavor. If using pre-cooked sausages, this will reduce the cooking time.
