Main Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or Andouille), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1.5 lbs baby red or Yukon gold potatoes, washed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by setting your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures the potatoes roast up crispy while the sausage caramelizes beautifully.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and halve the potatoes so they cook evenly. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds to create perfect bite-sized pieces packed with flavor.
- Season Everything: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and sausage with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until everything is coated evenly.
- Spread on a Baking Sheet: Arrange the mixture on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure nothing overlaps to allow maximum browning and crispness.
- Roast in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the potatoes and sausage halfway through to ensure even cooking and a golden crust all around.
- Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Once the potatoes are tender and sausage nicely browned, remove from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped rosemary or thyme over the top for extra aroma and freshness.
Notes
- Choose smaller or uniformly cut potatoes for faster, even roasting.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming; leave space between pieces.
- Flip the sausage and potatoes halfway through roasting for even caramelization.
- Roast at high heat (425°F) to achieve golden edges and enhanced flavor.
- Use quality smoked sausage for deeper, richer flavor.
