Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Sausage Bake that combines tender baby potatoes, smoked sausage, and melted cheddar cheese, all seasoned with ranch flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 ounce)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced smoked sausage, olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the potato mixture.
- Substitute the smoked sausage with chicken sausage or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
