Equipment Needed

Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C) and get everything ready. First, I slice the smoked sausage into rounds and set it aside. Then, I peel and dice the russet potatoes into small cubes, aiming for uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly. In a large mixing bowl, I add the diced potatoes, sausage, and a generous amount of the ranch seasoning mix. Next, I pour in the sour cream and sprinkle in the salt and pepper. It’s amazing how the ranch seasoning adds a depth of flavor that makes this simple dish stand out. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
