Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Sausage

Ingredients Overview

  • Potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best, offering a balance of creamy and firm textures.
  • Sausage: Smoked sausage or kielbasa adds a robust, savory flavor.
  • Cheese: Cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend creates a rich, gooey topping.
  • Ranch Seasoning: This seasoning blend brings tanginess and depth to the dish.
  • Optional Additions: Bell peppers, onions, or broccoli can add color, nutrition, and variety.

How to Prepare

  1. Prepping the Potatoes: Cut them into bite-sized pieces and either parboil or roast them slightly to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Cooking the Sausage: Slice and sear the sausage in a skillet until golden and caramelized.
  3. Assembling the Dish: Mix the potatoes and sausage with ranch seasoning, top with shredded cheese, and bake until bubbly and golden brown.
  4. Finishing Touches: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for added freshness and a pop of color.
