Description
Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage is a hearty and flavorful meal with tender potatoes, savory sausage, and a cheesy, ranch-infused topping.
Ingredients
- For the Katsu:
- 1 pound smoked sausage (halal-certified, no pork)
- 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (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)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking dish or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and the ranch seasoning mix until evenly coated.
- Prepare the sausage: Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces. Add the sausage to the mixing bowl with the seasoned potatoes and toss to combine.
- Bake: Transfer the potato and sausage mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out into an even layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, and the sausage is heated through.
- Add cheese: After the baking time, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese) evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted, remove the dish from the oven. If desired, serve with a dollop of sour cream on top and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier dish, you can add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the mix.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella or gouda for a different flavor.
- Consider adding additional vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Simply bake when ready to serve.
