Ingredients
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 the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and sausage.
- Toss the potatoes with seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings and oil.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20 minutes to start crisping them up.
- Add the smoked sausage: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the sliced smoked sausage to the potatoes and gently toss everything together so the sausage mixes with the partially cooked potatoes.
- Continue roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes become crispy on the outside and the smoked sausage is thoroughly heated.
- Garnish and serve: Once roasted to perfection, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes and sausage to add a fresh herbal note. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can use red or gold baby potatoes for best results, as they roast evenly and develop a nice crispy skin.
- Adjust the seasoning amounts to your taste; adding a pinch of cayenne can give a nice spicy kick.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute the smoked sausage with a leaner sausage or turkey sausage.
- Make sure to cut the sausage into even slices so they heat evenly alongside the potatoes.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or a skillet to maintain crispiness.
