Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Potatoes
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
Sauce and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare it for roasting, which will ensure your potatoes and sausage cook evenly and develop a golden, caramelized finish.
- Make the Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined, creating a flavorful glaze that will coat your ingredients.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced smoked sausage and halved or quartered baby potatoes to the bowl with the sauce. Toss everything thoroughly to evenly coat the sausage and potatoes with the honey garlic mixture.
- Prepare for Roasting: Spread the sausage and potato mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. This ensures even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30–35 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking to promote even browning and caramelization. The dish is done when the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the sausage is nicely caramelized.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top if desired, and serve warm as a satisfying main dish or hearty side.
Notes
- For quicker cooking, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting to reduce oven time.
- Use turkey or chicken sausage as a leaner alternative to smoked sausage.
- This recipe serves well as a main meal or a hearty side dish.
