# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound halal-certified smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
02 - 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 packet halal-certified ranch seasoning mix
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses)
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
10 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the potatoes roast evenly and develop crispy edges.
02 - Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters, depending on size, for even cooking. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
03 - In a bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Place potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with half the seasoning mix. Toss to coat evenly.
04 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Distribute sausage slices evenly on top.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and golden.
06 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the roasted potatoes and sausage. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the sausage and ranch seasoning used are halal-certified to meet dietary preferences.
02 - Baby potatoes are recommended, but russet potatoes can be substituted if needed.
