To create your Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage, follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a large baking dish or a sheet pan with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the diced potatoes, sliced smoked sausage, olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt until everything is well coated.
4. Spread Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly for even cooking.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
6. Add Cheese: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
7. Broil for Finish: Return the dish to the oven and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Garnish & Serve: Once finished, remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh touch before serving.

These steps will ensure you achieve that cheesy, savory goodness with minimal fuss!
