Ingredients
- The Meat: 1 lb smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds.
- The Potatoes: 1.5 lbs yellow or red potatoes, cut into bite-sized wedges or cubes.
- The Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, diced or cut into wedges.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced.
- The Coating: 2 tbsp olive oil.
- The Seasoning: 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- The Optional Finish: 1 cup shredded mozzarella or white cheddar cheese.
- Garnish: Freshly chopped parsley.
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Toss: In a large bowl or directly on a large rimmed baking sheet (or oven-safe skillet), combine the sliced sausage, potatoes, and onions.
- Season: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, dried herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Roast: Spread the mixture in a single, even layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sausage is beautifully browned.
- Melt (Optional): If you prefer a cheesy finish, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and return to the oven for an additional 3–5 minutes until melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and top with fresh parsley for a pop of color and brightness.
- Serve: Serve hot directly from the pan for a rustic, comforting meal.
