Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the sausages and potatoes cook evenly and develop a nice roasted flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced smoked sausage and halved baby potatoes. Make sure they are evenly distributed in the bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the sausage and potatoes. Use a spatula or your hands to toss everything together until the sausage and potatoes are well coated with the oil.
- Add the paprika, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Toss again to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed.
- Spread the sausage and potato mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces to allow for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, stir the mixture to ensure even browning and cooking.
- After 30 minutes, check for doneness. The potatoes should be tender and the sausage should be browned and slightly crispy. If needed, you can roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will help the flavors settle.
- Serve the oven roasted smoked sausage and potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Tips
- Choose the right potatoes: Baby potatoes work best as they cook evenly and create a delightful crispy exterior.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give your sausage and potatoes enough space to roast properly. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
- Use high-quality smoked sausage: The better the sausage, the more flavorful your dish will be.
- Experiment with seasonings: While paprika is fantastic, try adding garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme for extra depth of flavor.
- For extra crispiness, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld and the juices to redistribute.
