Ingredients
1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or fingerlings), halved
1.5 lbs fresh sausages (Italian, bratwurst, or your favorite)
1 red onion, thickly sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or line a large roasting pan or sheet pan.
2. Prep the potatoes and veggies
In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes, red onion, and bell pepper with olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the dish
Spread the seasoned potatoes and vegetables evenly in the baking dish. Nestle the sausages on top or in between the vegetables.
4. Roast
Place the pan in the oven and roast for 40 to 45 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through and stirring the potatoes for even browning. Everything should be golden, crisp at the edges, and cooked through.
5. Finish and serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve hot, straight from the pan.
Tips and Variations
Use precooked sausage: If your sausage is already cooked, reduce baking time to 25–30 minutes and add sausage halfway through.
Add sweetness: Toss in cherry tomatoes or apple slices for a sweet contrast.
Swap vegetables: Try carrots, Brussels sprouts, or zucchini.
Make it spicy: Use hot Italian sausage or add chili flakes before roasting.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F or microwave until hot.
Freezer: Freeze in individual portions. Reheat from frozen in a covered dish at 375°F for 25–30 minutes.
