Absolutely! Here’s a simple, hearty, and crowd-pleasing baked sausage and potatoes recipe that’s all cooked in one pan—perfect for an easy dinner. 🥘
🌭🥔 Baked Sausage and Potatoes
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb (450 g) sausage links (Italian, smoked, or your favorite)
- 1.5 lbs (700 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a roasting pan.
2️⃣ Prepare the Vegetables
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, peppers, and onions with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
3️⃣ Arrange Sausage and Veggies
- Place the potatoes and veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Nestle the sausage links on top or between the potatoes.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, tossing the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.
- Sausages should be cooked through (internal temperature 160°F/71°C for pork, 165°F/74°C for chicken) and potatoes golden and tender.
5️⃣ Optional Broil
- For extra color, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely so nothing burns.
6️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
- Optional sides: a simple green salad or steamed veggies.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Spicy twist: Use chorizo or hot Italian sausages.
- Cheesy version: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella over potatoes in the last 5–10 minutes.
- One-pan shortcut: Cut sausages into bite-sized pieces for faster cooking and easier serving.
- Extra flavor: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice before serving.
This dish is comforting, easy, and full of flavor, and cleanup is a breeze because everything bakes together.
If you want, I can also make a slow-cooker version, a sheet-pan version for meal prep, or a cheesy baked sausage and potato casserole.
