→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound smoked sausage, halal-certified, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
02 - 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 packet ranch seasoning mix, halal-certified
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or a mix of cheeses
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
10 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for optimal roasting.
02 - Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
03 - In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
04 - Place the prepared potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat evenly.
05 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
06 - Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly distribute the sliced smoked sausage over the potatoes.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
08 - Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage and potatoes. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
09 - Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with sour cream if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Use halal-certified ingredients if following dietary preferences.
02 - Experiment with different cheese blends for unique flavor profiles.
03 - Stirring the potatoes halfway through roasting ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
