Ingredients:

  • 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or turkey sausage), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 4 large russet or Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional for color and sweetness)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep Your Oven and Ingredients

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice the sausage and chop the onion and bell pepper.

2. Toss with Seasonings

  • In a large bowl, combine potatoes, sausage, onion, and bell pepper.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic powder, paprika, thyme (or rosemary), salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.

3. Roast to Perfection

  • Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
  • Roast for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are crisp-tender and golden, and the sausage is nicely browned.

4. Finish and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  • Serve warm on its own or with crusty bread or a simple green salad.

Pro Tips:

  • Use Yukon golds for a creamier texture, or russets if you prefer extra crispiness.
  • Add vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms for more variety.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne to the seasoning.
