Step 1: Prep the
Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the baby potatoes in half or quarters for even cooking. Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds so they roast evenly and release that delicious smoky aroma.
Step 2: Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss the potatoes in olive oil and sprinkle with half of this seasoning blend until everything is evenly coated.
Step 3: Assemble the Tray
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer, then scatter the sausage slices over the top. Make sure nothing is overcrowded for that perfect roast.
Step 4: Roast and Add Cheese
Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender. Remove from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over everything, and return it to bake for another 5 minutes just until the cheese melts into bubbly perfection.
