1 ½ lbs baby red potatoes, quartered
12 oz smoked sausage, sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 oz packet ranch seasoning mix
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Spread potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
Add sliced sausage to the pan, stir, and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are golden and sausage is heated through.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Use pre-cooked smoked sausage for faster cooking.
You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or a cheese blend.
For a spicy kick, use hot sausage or sprinkle red pepper flakes before baking.
