Description

Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Sausage is a hearty, flavor-packed dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or a comforting side. With tender potatoes, smoky sausage, zesty ranch seasoning, and gooey melted cheddar, this easy one-pan recipe is sure to be a family favorite!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, quartered (or russet potatoes, diced)

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking dish.

  • Season & Toss: In a mixing bowl, combine potatoes, sausage, olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

  • Bake: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

  • Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Garnish & Serve: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Want extra crispiness? Broil for 2-3 minutes after adding the cheese.

  • Make it spicier: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for heat.

  • Swap the sausage: Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
