Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa, Andouille, or preferred variety), sliced into thick rounds
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (red or yellow), washed and halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 2–3 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
  • Red pepper flakes or cayenne (for spicy variation)
  • Bell peppers, onions, or Brussels sprouts (for veggie upgrades)
  • Shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (for cheesy finish)
  • Fresh parsley, sage, or oregano (for herb infusion)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it warms, wash and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even roasting and quicker cooking.
  2. Slice the smoked sausage: Cut the smoked sausage into thick bite-sized rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference for chunkiness.
  3. Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until every piece is well coated.
  4. Add sausage and herbs: Mix the sausage slices and, if using, fresh herb sprigs with the potatoes to combine flavors before roasting.
  5. Spread on a baking sheet: Arrange the potato and sausage mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring the pieces aren’t overcrowded. This helps them crisp beautifully.
  6. Roast until golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are tender inside and golden crispy on the outside, and sausage is heated through.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Remove from oven, discard herb sprigs, and serve warm for a delicious, easy meal everyone will love.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; spreading ingredients out helps achieve that irresistible crisp.
  • Use smoked sausage with good flavor—the meat choice is key to the overall smokiness and richness.
  • Flip halfway through baking to prevent burning and promote even browning.
  • If available, use convection setting on your oven to speed cooking and crisp ingredients nicely.
