Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Italian Sausage (mild or hot) cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried Rosemary crushed
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley optional, for garnish, chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper; toss to coat evenly.
- Add the cut sausage pieces to the same bowl, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss gently to coat.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes and sausage in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cooking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned.
Serving
- Remove from the oven, adjust seasoning as needed, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes and sausage are spread in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet. If you prefer a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings.
