Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 lbs baby creamer potatoes
- 1.5 lbs beef smoked sausage
Vegetables:
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 green bell pepper
Seasonings and Fats:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice 2 ½ lbs of baby creamer potatoes in half, then toss them in 2 Tbsp olive oil until each potato glistens evenly.
- Sprinkle 2 tsp Slap Ya Mama seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp red pepper flakes over the potatoes, mixing thoroughly to coat each piece.
- Cut 1 ½ lbs beef smoked sausage into 1-inch chunks and dice 1 large yellow onion and 1 green bell pepper into similar-sized pieces.
- Gently fold the sausage, onion, and bell pepper into the seasoned potatoes, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it in an even layer for consistent cooking.
- Dot the top of the mixture with 4 Tbsp cubed butter, placing small pieces across the entire surface.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for exactly 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until your potatoes feel tender when pierced with a fork.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to help flavors settle and make serving easier.
Notes
- Always cut potatoes into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Fresh sausage provides richer flavor compared to pre-packaged varieties, so consider selecting high-quality smoked sausage from a local butcher.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends like Cajun or Italian herbs to customize the flavor profile and keep the recipe interesting.
- For a lower-carb alternative, swap potatoes with cauliflower florets or turnip chunks while maintaining the same cooking method and seasonings.
