🔥 Smoked Sausage and Potato Bake: A Rustic One-Pan Wonder




 

👨‍🍳 How to Make It

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or casserole dish with parchment or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and sausage slices with olive oil and all seasonings. Make sure everything is evenly coated.

Step 3: Bake It

Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet or dish. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the sausage edges are crispy.

Step 4: Optional Final Touch

Sprinkle with shredded cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking if you want a melty topping. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.


🍴 Tips and Variations

  • Make it spicy: Use hot smoked sausage or add red pepper flakes.

  • Add more veggies: Toss in zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.

  • Switch the potatoes: Sweet potatoes or even cauliflower florets are great alternatives.

  • One-pan cleanup: Use a disposable foil pan or line your sheet tray with parchment for easy cleanup.
