# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 1 pound halal-certified smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered

→ Seasonings & Oils

03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 packet halal-certified ranch seasoning mix
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Dairy

08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

→ Garnish

10 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve or quarter the baby potatoes. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
02 - In a small bowl, mix ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil and half of the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer and scatter the smoked sausage slices evenly over the potatoes.
04 - Bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden and tender.
05 - Remove from oven, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes and sausage, then return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
06 - Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with optional sour cream.

# Extra Tips & Details:

01 - For crispier potatoes, cut into smaller pieces and increase oven temperature slightly while monitoring to prevent burning.
02 - Substitute dairy cheese and omit sour cream for a dairy-free version.
