- Scatter the sliced smoked sausage over the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning.
- Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly, and return to the oven for 4–6 minutes until melted.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot with sour cream if desired.
Notes
Ensure the sausage is halal certified. For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and flip the potato pieces halfway through roasting.
