Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds or half-moons
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional but recommended)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot oven that will crisp the potatoes perfectly. While it heats, wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and slice the smoked sausage into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, smoked sausage slices, diced onions, minced garlic, and bell peppers with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of dried herbs, making sure everything is evenly coated for balanced flavor.
  3. Bake the Dish: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or sheet pan in a single layer to ensure all pieces crisp up nicely. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.
  4. Final Touches: When the potatoes are golden and tender and the sausage is heated through with slightly caramelized edges, remove from oven. Let the dish rest for a few minutes to allow flavors to settle before serving.

Notes

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes offer a perfect balance of waxy and starchy texture for crispiness and shape retention.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan: Leave space between ingredients to allow heat circulation for crispier results.
  • Use smoked sausage with a firm texture to prevent mushiness.
  • Pre-season ingredients well to enhance flavors.
  • Stir the dish halfway through baking to ensure even roasting and prevent sticking.
