  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (900g) Russet potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 lb (450g) smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dice potatoes; slice smoked sausage into rounds.
  2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. While potatoes roast, cook sausage slices in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Transfer roasted potatoes to a large baking dish. Mix in cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, and ranch dressing, stirring gently.
  5. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Broil for 2 minutes for extra crispiness.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute smoked sausage with shredded cooked chicken or turkey breast.
  • Ensure ranch dressing and sausage are gluten-free if needed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
