Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes Cut into even-sized pieces
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage Kielbasa or spicy Italian, or use smoked tofu for a vegetarian twist
For the Creamy Goodness
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese Shredded
For the Flavoring
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning Ensure it's gluten-free or make your own
  • 1 cup chicken broth Or vegetable broth for vegetarian options
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil Adds necessary fat for flavor

Equipment

  • large cast iron skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even-sized pieces, about one inch.
  2. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
  3. Add the prepared baby potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sausage. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle ranch seasoning over the top.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the lid and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Sausage hot from the skillet.

Notes

Ensure your baby potatoes are cut into uniform pieces for even cooking. Covering the skillet while cooking traps steam for moist potatoes.
