Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb smoked turkey sausage, sliced into rounds
- 2 lbs baby potatoes, quartered
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes on the baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Add the sliced turkey sausage to the pan and continue roasting for 20 more minutes, until potatoes are tender and sausage is browned.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top and return to the oven for 5–7 minutes, until melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving warm.
Notes
- For even browning, cut potatoes into uniformly sized pieces.
- Feel free to swap smoked turkey sausage with kielbasa or your favorite sausage for a different flavor.
- To get extra-crispy potatoes, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end watched closely.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days; reheat in oven or microwave.
