Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound smoked sausage (halal-certified, no pork)
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (make sure it’s 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)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters.
  • Cut the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  • In a small bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Cooking

  • Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle half of the ranch seasoning mixture. Toss until they’re coated evenly.
  • Use parchment paper or lightly grease the baking sheet.
  • Lay out the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Scatter the sliced sausage over the potatoes evenly.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
  • Top with shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
