Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage

by admin

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds (kielbasa or andouille work great)

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red), quartered or halved

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or use all cheddar)

  • ¼ cup sour cream (optional, for creaminess)

  • Chopped green onions or parsley, for garnish

  • Salt & pepper, to taste


👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

2. Toss the potatoes:

  • In a large bowl, mix potatoes with olive oil and ranch seasoning. Toss to coat well.

3. Add sausage:

  • Stir in sliced smoked sausage. Spread everything evenly in your baking dish or on a lined sheet pan.

4. Roast:

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway, until potatoes are fork-tender and starting to brown.

5. Add cheese:

  • Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheeses over the top. Return to oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Garnish & serve:

  • Optional: Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with green onions or parsley.

  • Serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side.


🔁 Variations:

  • Use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweet, smoky twist.

  • Add chopped bell peppers or onions for more veggies.

  • Spice it up with a pinch of cayenne or a drizzle of hot sauce.
