Description

A hearty, comforting one-pan meal of roasted potatoes, smoked sausage, and melted cheese topped with creamy ranch – perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, diced into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz smoked turkey or chicken sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread in the prepared dish.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
  4. Add sliced sausage on top of the potatoes and return to oven for 15 more minutes.
  5. Remove dish from oven, drizzle ranch dressing evenly, then sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake again for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
  7. Let rest briefly, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, use low-fat ranch and reduced-fat cheese. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
