Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) smoked sausage (kielbasa or andouille), sliced
- 4 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious baking sheet with parchment paper or a light oil coating and heat the oven to a robust 400°F (200°C), ensuring optimal roasting conditions.
- Create a flavor-packed mixture by combining cubed potatoes, sliced onions, and colorful bell peppers in a generous mixing bowl. Drizzle with fragrant olive oil and generously sprinkle garlic powder, smoky paprika, aromatic thyme, salt, and cracked black pepper.
- Incorporate thick slices of smoked sausage into the seasoned vegetable medley, gently tossing to ensure each ingredient is thoroughly coated with the robust spice blend.
- Distribute the sausage and vegetable mixture across the prepared baking sheet in an even, single layer to promote uniform cooking and optimal caramelization.
- Roast the dish in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, using a spatula to flip the ingredients midway through cooking to achieve golden, crispy potatoes and perfectly browned sausage edges.
- Once roasted to perfection, transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbal finish. Serve immediately with your preferred condiment, such as tangy mustard or a zesty dipping sauce.
Notes
- Select a waxy potato variety like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Cut potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use high-quality smoked sausage with good fat content to enhance flavor and prevent dryness during roasting.
- Customize the seasoning by experimenting with different herbs like rosemary or adding a dash of smoked paprika for extra depth.
