1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prep the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Season the Potatoes: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Mix well.
4. Add Sausage: Add the sliced smoked sausage to the bowl and toss everything together until evenly distributed.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the potato-sausage mixture into a large baking dish, making sure it’s spread out evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
7. Add Ranch Dressing: Remove the dish from the oven after 30 minutes. Drizzle the ranch dressing evenly over the potatoes and sausage.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ranch-dressed mixture.
9. Continue Baking: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
