Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and sausage.
- Prepare potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
- Initial roast: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to start cooking them and develop a crispy exterior.
- Add sausage: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the smoked sausage slices to the potatoes. Toss gently to combine the flavors evenly.
- Continue roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and the sausage is heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving to add a fresh herbal note and vibrant color.
Notes
- You can use red, yellow, or Yukon gold baby potatoes depending on your preference.
- If you prefer spicier sausage, feel free to substitute with a spicy smoked variety.
- For extra crispiness, spread potatoes and sausage in a single layer without overlapping.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
