Description
A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender roasted potatoes tossed with ranch seasoning, smoky sausage, and melted cheddar cheese. This recipe is simple enough for weeknights yet satisfying for gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, quartered
- 14 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in the prepared baking dish and roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, stir in the sliced smoked sausage, and return to roast for another 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender and lightly golden.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes and sausage, then bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve warm with sour cream if desired.
Notes
- Baby potatoes or red potatoes hold their shape best.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melting.
- Taste before adding extra salt as sausage and ranch seasoning are salty.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
