  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

14 oz Smoked Sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
2 lbs Potatoes, small to medium-sized (e.g., Yukon Gold, red potatoes), cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 packet (1 oz) Ranch Seasoning Mix
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or cheddar jack blend)
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup
  2. Wash your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the size consistent for even cooking
  3. Slice the smoked sausage into ½-inch thick rounds. If using larger links, cut them in half lengthwise first, then slice
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes and sliced sausage
  5. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sausage. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over everything. Toss vigorously until all the potatoes and sausage are evenly coated
  6. Spread the seasoned potato and sausage mixture in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan. If necessary, use two baking sheets to ensure everything cooks evenly and gets nicely browned
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, tossing the mixture halfway through. The potatoes should start to become tender and slightly golden brow
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes and sausage
  9. Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra browning on the cheese, you can briefly switch to the broiler setting for 1-2 minutes, but watch it carefully to prevent burning
  10. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Ranch Potatoes Smoked Sausage!

Notes

Always cut your potatoes into uniform sizes (approx. 1-inch cubes) for even cooking.

Do not overcrowd the baking pan; use two if necessary to allow potatoes to roast, not steam.

Pat potatoes thoroughly dry before tossing with oil and seasoning for a crispier exterior.

Toss the potatoes and sausage halfway through baking to ensure even browning and caramelization.

When using the broiler to melt cheese, stay vigilant as cheese can burn quickly.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

For best reheating, use the oven or air fryer to help restore some crispiness to the potatoes.
