Main Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or smoked Polish sausage), sliced into rounds or half-moons
- 2 lbs Yukon gold or red potatoes, washed, dried, and cut into bite-sized chunks or wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prep the potatoes: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized chunks or wedges to ensure they roast golden and crisp without drying out.
- Slice the smoked sausage: Cut the smoked sausage into thick rounds or half-moons depending on your preference for larger or smaller bites. This helps the sausage roast evenly alongside the potatoes.
- Season and toss everything together: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and sausage slices. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the mix. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece with seasoning.
- Arrange on a baking sheet: Spread the sausage and potato mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Leaving enough space allows hot air to circulate, creating a crispy texture.
- Roast to crispy perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, toss or flip the pieces to ensure even browning. The potatoes should be tender inside and crunchy outside, with caramelized sausage.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a bright, fresh finish. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon gold or red potatoes for best texture and crispiness.
- Roasting at 425°F encourages caramelization and crisp edges.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming and instead ensure roasting.
- Flip or toss the ingredients halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Use smoked sausage for authentic smoky flavor but feel free to experiment with other sausages.
