Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then cube them into 1-inch pieces for even roasting.
- Slice Sausage: Cut the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds to ensure they cook evenly along with the potatoes.
- Chop Onion and Mince Garlic: Chop the yellow onion into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic cloves finely to infuse the sauce with flavor.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Add dried thyme, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes if using. Whisk everything until well combined.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it reaches the right temperature for roasting.
- Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, sliced sausage, and chopped onion. Pour the honey garlic sauce over them and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the mixture out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the mixture according to taste.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes and sausage halfway through to promote even cooking and golden browning.
- Check Doneness: Pierce the potatoes with a fork; if it slides in easily, the potatoes are tender and done.
- Broil for Crispiness: For extra crispy potatoes and sausage, broil them for the last few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Cool Slightly and Garnish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve: Serve the honey garlic sausage potatoes hot as either a satisfying main course or a delicious side dish.
Notes
- You can use other types of smoked sausage, such as kielbasa or andouille, depending on your preference.
- If you prefer less heat, omit the red pepper flakes.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the soy sauce used is gluten-free tamari.
- Using Yukon Gold potatoes is ideal because they hold their shape well during roasting but you can substitute with red potatoes if desired.
- Flip the ingredients carefully during roasting to avoid breaking the potatoes.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
