Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 12 oz smoked sausage (Andouille or Kielbasa), sliced into thick rounds

Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and chopped into bite-sized chunks

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Fresh Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and chop the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and slice the smoked sausage into thick rounds to ensure even cooking and contrasting textures.
  2. Season the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat each piece, enhancing the flavor and texture.
  3. Combine Potatoes and Sausage on a Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Nestle the sliced sausage evenly among the potatoes, making sure there is space for proper roasting and caramelization.
  4. Roast Until Golden and Tender: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning. The potatoes should be fork-tender and golden, with the sausage nicely browned and sizzling.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh chopped rosemary or thyme over the dish for a fragrant finish. Gently toss everything together, then serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispy edges.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming; allow space for roasting and crisping.
  • Use high-quality smoked sausage for the best flavor.
  • Flip or stir the ingredients halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end to taste with additional salt, pepper, or herbs.
