  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups of potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and dice the potatoes. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté sausage slices until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  2. In the same skillet, cook diced potatoes until they start to brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked potatoes, smoked sausage, ranch seasoning, sour cream, and milk. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden. For extra crispness, broil for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a quicker cooking time, parboil the potatoes before roasting.
  • You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner version.
  • This casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
