Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound halal-certified smoked sausage (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)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes roast evenly and develop a nice crispy texture on the outside while remaining tender inside.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half or quarters depending on size to promote even cooking and quicker roasting.
  3. Slice the Smoked Sausage: Slice the halal-certified smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds so that each piece cooks evenly and releases its smoky flavor into the dish.
  4. Toss the Potatoes and Sausage: In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes and sliced sausage with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss everything well to coat each piece evenly with the seasoning and oil.
  5. Roast the Mixture: Spread the seasoned potatoes and sausage in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning and cooking until the potatoes are fork-tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  6. Add Cheese and Finish Roasting: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes and sausage. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with sour cream on the side if desired for extra creaminess and tang.

Notes

  • For best results, use baby potatoes for faster cooking and tender texture, but russet potatoes can be used if preferred.
  • You can swap the cheddar cheese for mozzarella, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack for different flavor profiles.
  • Halal-certified smoked sausage ensures the dish meets dietary restrictions; verify seasoning packets for compliance as well.
  • If you want a crispyier finish, broil for 1-2 minutes after adding the cheese instead of roasting.
  • This dish pairs well with a light green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
