Cheesy Ranch Potatoes Sausage (Print-Friendly Version)

Savory potatoes and halal sausage seasoned with ranch spices and topped with melted cheddar for an easy, comforting one-pan dinner.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 pound halal-certified smoked sausage (turkey or beef)
02 - 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 packet halal-certified ranch seasoning mix
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
10 - Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure proper roasting and crisping of the potatoes.
02 - Wash baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size for even cooking.
03 - Cut the halal-certified smoked sausage into 0.6 cm (1/4-inch) thick rounds to allow even cooking and flavor distribution.
04 - In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well integrated.
05 - Place potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the seasoning mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
06 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
07 - Distribute the sliced sausage pieces evenly among the potatoes on the baking sheet.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway through cooking time for even browning.
09 - Remove baking sheet from oven, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes and sausage. Return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
10 - Remove from oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with optional sour cream on the side.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For variety, experiment with different cheese blends such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack.
02 - Ensure all ingredients are halal-certified if preparing for dietary restrictions.
03 - Baby potatoes hold their shape better during roasting than larger varieties, but russet potatoes can be substituted if cut into appropriate sizes.
