Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage (Italian, smoked, or kielbasa, sliced)
- 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon gold or red, cut into chunks)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking sheet and set the oven temperature to 400F (200C) for optimal roasting conditions.
- Thoroughly combine diced potatoes, sliced onions, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl, coating them evenly with olive oil and seasoning mixture of paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Distribute the seasoned vegetable mixture across the baking sheet in a single uniform layer, ensuring maximum exposure for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast vegetables for approximately 25 minutes, allowing them to develop golden edges and tender texture.
- Remove the baking sheet and carefully integrate sliced sausage pieces among the partially roasted potatoes, gently mixing to promote consistent cooking.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes, monitoring until potatoes achieve a rich golden color and sausage reaches complete doneness.
- Once cooking is complete, extract the baking sheet from the oven and generously sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the dish for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Transfer the aromatic sausage and potato medley to a serving platter, presenting the meal while still steaming hot for maximum flavor and enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap out traditional sausage for chicken or turkey sausage to create a leaner, lower-fat version of this comforting dish.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary or oregano to add unique flavor profiles and keep the recipe exciting.
- For a vegetarian twist, replace sausage with plant-based sausage alternatives or roasted chickpeas to maintain protein content and texture.
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
