  • 1 pound smoked sausage (halal-certified, no pork) Adds a savory, smoky flavor.
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered Cook quickly and hold their shape.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters.
  3. Cut 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, drizzle the halved potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with half the ranch seasoning mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Scatter the sliced sausage over the potatoes.
  4. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
  5. Take out the baking sheet and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  6. Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve with sour cream if desired.
