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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
- Arrange Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer for optimal roasting.
- Initial Roasting: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing them to begin cooking and becoming tender and lightly crispy.
- Add Sausage: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the sliced smoked sausage to the potatoes. Toss gently to combine and distribute evenly.
- Final Roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes. This will fully cook the sausage and finish crisping the potatoes.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a fresh, colorful finish.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with kielbasa or andouille sausage depending on preference.
- For extra crispiness, consider tossing the potatoes with a bit of cornstarch before roasting.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispness or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions for more variety and flavor.
