Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 900 g potatoes, diced Yukon Gold or Russet, about 6 cups
  • 375 g smoked sausage, sliced about 2.5 cups
  • 150 g shredded cheddar cheese about 1.5 cups
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix about 30 g
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 stems chopped green onions (for topping, optional)

Equipment

  • 1 large baking sheet
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 chef’s knife
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 aluminum foil optional
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 210°C (410°F).
  2. Wash and dice potatoes into 1.5 cm cubes, leaving the skin on for more flavor and texture.
  3. Slice the smoked sausage into 1 cm rounds.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine diced potatoes, sliced sausage, olive oil, ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet. For easy cleanup, line the sheet with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
  7. Remove baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and return to the oven for 7–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and potatoes are tender.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions just before serving, if desired.

Notes

You can substitute turkey sausage for a lighter version. Add diced bell peppers or broccoli for extra color and nutrients. Serve with a crisp green salad for a complete meal. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
