  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy. Slice smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Transfer roasted potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add cooked sausage, ranch dressing, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  4. Transfer mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  5. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken sausage, breakfast sausage, or plant-based alternatives.
  • For a healthier or lower-carb version, swap potatoes for cauliflower or reduce the cheese amount.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave.
