Ingredients
Scale
Sausage
- 1 pound sausages (pork, chicken, or turkey)
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 1.5 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes, diced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the sausages and potatoes evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Lightly drizzle olive oil onto a baking sheet to prevent sticking and add flavor to the potatoes and sausages.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper until all pieces are well-coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange Ingredients: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the oiled baking sheet. Nestle the sausages among the potatoes to allow even cooking and mingling of flavors.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Stir the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote even browning and to ensure the sausages cook through evenly.
- Serve: Once golden brown and cooked through, remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy the delicious combination of savory sausages and crispy, herb-infused potatoes!
Notes
- You can use pork, chicken, or turkey sausages based on your preference or dietary needs.
- To save time, use pre-minced garlic and pre-chopped herbs if available.
- If you prefer softer potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces but reduce baking time accordingly.
- For added flavor, try sprinkling some paprika or smoked paprika on the potatoes before baking.
- Ensure sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for pork and 165°F (74°C) for poultry before serving.
