  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
  • 4 large russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup ranch dressing or ranch seasoning mix
  • ¼ cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the potatoes and sausage by dicing and slicing respectively, then toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread the seasoned potatoes and sausage on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  4. Transfer to a baking dish if necessary, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and melted. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
