Ranch Cheesy Sausage Potatoes (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Toppings and Garnishes

01 - Fresh chopped parsley to sprinkle on top (if you want)
02 - 120 ml sour cream, your call if you want to add it at the end
03 - 160 g cheddar cheese, shredded, or swap in your go-to cheese mix

→ Main Ingredients

04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 900 g small potatoes, cut in halves or quarters
06 - 450 g smoked sausage, halal-certified, sliced into half-centimeter rounds

→ Seasonings

07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1 packet ranch seasoning mix, halal-certified

# Steps to Follow:

01 - After pulling everything out of the oven, toss a handful of parsley on top if you like it. Grab the sour cream for dipping and serve right away while it's nice and hot.
02 - Sprinkle all that shredded cheese evenly on top, pop it back in for about 5 minutes. Wait for everything to get all gooey and bubbly, then take it out.
03 - Slide the tray into the oven and cook for 35 to 40 minutes. Give it a good stir halfway through. You'll know it's done when those potatoes get crispy and golden.
04 - First, spread the seasoned spuds out flat on your tray. Scatter the sausage pieces all over, making sure every bite gets some sausage.
05 - Grab a sheet pan and either line it with parchment or coat it lightly with oil so stuff doesn't stick.
06 - Toss your cut potatoes in a big bowl with olive oil. Sprinkle on half the seasoning mix. Mix everything around so the spuds are covered well.
07 - Get a small bowl and stir together the ranch packet, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
08 - Slice up your smoked sausage into short, thick rounds—about half a centimeter. This helps them warm through evenly.
09 - Rinse those potatoes. Cut into halves, maybe quarters if they're big, so they'll cook all the way.
10 - Turn the oven up to 200°C or 400°F. Let it heat so everything cooks just right.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Spread stuff out on the tray—if you crowd it, things won't crisp up nicely.
02 - Try swapping in pepper jack or mozzarella cheese for a new twist.
