  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 3 large russet potatoes, chopped into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or ranch mix
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare all ingredients by slicing the smoked sausage and chopping the potatoes into even-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes and smoked sausage slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy, and sausage is cooked through.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cooked potatoes and sausage. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until cheese melts.
  5. Out of the oven, drizzle with ranch dressing or sprinkle ranch mix for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  6. Serve hot directly from the sheet pan for a hearty, fuss-free dinner that everyone will enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are chopped into similar sizes for even roasting.
  • You can substitute different types of sausage like kielbasa or Italian sausage for variation.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to keep potatoes crispy.
  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more nutrition.
