  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (halal-certified)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. Place the halved potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning mixture. Toss until evenly coated.

Cooking

  2. Scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the potatoes.
  3. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.
  4. Remove from the oven, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
