Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby red or gold potatoes quartered or diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 12-14 ounces smoked sausage or kielbasa sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped, optional but recommended
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix about 1 ounce or 3 tablespoons homemade
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste, start with 1/4 tsp
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese cheddar, Colby Jack, or a blend
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with olive oil, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
  • Spread the seasoned veggies on the sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway.
  • Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pan and roast for an additional 12–15 minutes, until potatoes are tender and sausage is caramelized.
