Instructions
Creating Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved baby potatoes and drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Mix in the Ranch Seasoning: Add the ranch seasoning mix to the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4. Combine with Sausage: Toss in the sliced smoked sausage and mix well, ensuring that everything is uniformly combined.
5. Spread on Baking Sheet: Lay the mixture out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure the potatoes are cut-side down for optimal crispiness.
6. Bake in the Oven: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
7. Add Cheese and Sour Cream: Once the baking time is nearly finished, remove the baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Drizzle the sour cream on top as well.
8. Bake Again: Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish: Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
10. Serve Hot: Allow it to cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy!
