Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa, andouille, or preferred type)
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, ensuring they are of similar size for even roasting.
  2. Slice the Smoked Sausage: Cut the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds to allow caramelization on the edges while keeping the inside juicy.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato chunks and sausage slices with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary or thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss everything thoroughly to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, taking care not to overcrowd to ensure even roasting and crisping.
  5. Roast Until Golden and Tender: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the ingredients halfway through. The potatoes should be golden brown and tender, with browned edges on the sausage.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving to fully enjoy the textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture that holds shape well during roasting.
  • Cut potatoes and sausage uniformly to promote even cooking.
  • Thoroughly toss ingredients with oil and seasonings for enhanced flavor and crispiness.
  • Flip the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
  • Add fresh herbs after roasting for optimal aroma without burning the herbs.
