Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb smoked sausage
Vegetables:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onion
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut 4 medium potatoes into 1-inch cubes, keeping the skin intact for added texture.
- Slice 1 lb of smoked sausage into ½-inch thick rounds with a sharp knife.
- Chop 1 medium onion into medium-sized pieces.
- Combine potatoes, sausage, and onion in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the ingredients and sprinkle 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 tsp rosemary, and 1 tsp thyme.
- Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece gets coated with oil and seasonings.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure nothing overlaps.
- Roast for 25 minutes, using a spatula to stir the ingredients halfway through cooking.
- Check potato tenderness by piercing with a fork; they should look golden and crisp around the edges.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let flavors meld together.
Notes
- Potato size matters for even cooking, so aim for consistent 1-inch cubes to ensure each piece roasts perfectly.
- Fresh herbs make a huge difference, but dried herbs work fine if that’s what your pantry has on hand.
- For a lower-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or turnips to keep the same delicious roasted texture.
- Clean your baking sheet immediately after cooking to prevent stubborn baked-on residue from forming.
