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.

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.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender and golden.
