  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the smoked sausage and halve the baby potatoes. Mix the ranch seasoning with melted butter and olive oil in a small bowl.
  2. Toss the halved baby potatoes with half of the ranch butter mixture. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and crispy.
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced smoked sausage until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine the roasted potatoes and cooked sausage in a baking dish. Pour the remaining ranch butter mixture over the top, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and melted.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley, serve hot, and enjoy this irresistibly cheesy and smoky dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter or different flavor.
  • For a low-carb version, omit the potatoes or replace them with vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
  • This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle with additional shredded cheese or fresh herbs before serving.
