  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sliced smoked sausage until browned and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Peel and thinly slice potatoes into rounds.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Add sliced potatoes and cooked sausage to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Can use fresh potatoes instead of peeled ones; consider parboiling for even cooking.
  • Substitute smoked sausage with vegetables or plant-based options for a vegetarian version.
  • Enjoy leftovers stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheated in microwave or oven.
