Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into chunks (optional)
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and position rack in the middle.
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and slice smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, sausage, minced garlic, dried rosemary, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add any optional vegetables or seasonings if using.
- Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet, spreading ingredients in a single layer. Ensure pieces aren’t overcrowded, using two pans if necessary.
- Place in preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and stir thoroughly with a spatula, flipping potatoes and bringing less-cooked pieces from the center to the edges.
- Return to oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are golden brown with crispy edges and sausage is caramelized.
- Check that potatoes are fork-tender. If needed, continue roasting in 5-minute increments.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 3-5 minutes before roasting.
- This recipe works with many sausage varieties: kielbasa, andouille, Italian, or chicken sausage.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan – use two sheet pans if necessary for proper browning.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
