Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into small chunks
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by slicing the smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds. Wash and cut your potatoes into small chunks to ensure even cooking. Dice the bell peppers and thinly slice the onions. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare.
  2. Toss with Seasonings and Oil: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, peppers, onions, and sausage. Drizzle generously with olive oil, then add minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated with oil and spices.
  3. Bake Until Golden and Tender: Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet. Place it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and cook the potatoes through.
  4. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Once your Smoked Sausage & Potato Bake is golden and crispy on the edges, remove it from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving to enjoy all those smoky, satisfying flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use uniform potato sizes to ensure even cooking so some pieces don’t end up mushy or underdone.
  • Don’t crowd the pan; spreading ingredients out helps everything crisp rather than steam.
  • Choose quality smoked sausage for the best flavor impact.
  • Stir the bake halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and guarantee even browning.
  • Let the dish rest a few minutes after baking for flavors to deepen before serving.
