Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound smoked sausage (halal-certified, no pork)
  • 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (make sure it’s halal-certified)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut baby potatoes in half or quarters.
  3. Slice smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  4. In a small bowl, mix ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil and half the seasoning mixture.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  7. Spread seasoned potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
  8. Scatter sliced sausage evenly over the potatoes.
  9. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes and sausage.
  11. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use halal-certified sausage to keep the dish pork-free. Baby potatoes cook faster and hold shape well, but russet potatoes can be substituted. Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for variation. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
