Description

Golden, crispy potatoes coated in savory ranch seasoning, paired with smoky sausage, baked to perfection for a hearty and comforting dish.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch rounds
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they have enough space to roast and crisp up.
Add the sliced smoked sausage to the baking sheet, arranging them among the potatoes to meld flavors during cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, use tongs or a spatula to flip the potatoes and sausage for even browning.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender with crispy edges. If needed, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
