A Flavorful Lineup

  • Italian sausages: Choose mild, sweet, or hot Italian sausage depending on what you like. As they roast, the sausages add rich, savory flavor to the potatoes and vegetables.
  • Baby potatoes: They are small and have a tender, creamy texture so they are perfect for roasting. Cut them into quarters so they cook evenly and get crisp edges.
  • Red onion: Roasting brings out a naturally sweet, caramelized taste.
  • Olive oil: Helps brown the potatoes and adds a light flavor.
  • Italian seasoning: This simple blend of herbs to give this dish an Italian-inspired flavor.
  • Salt and pepper: Enhances all the flavors and brings all the flavors together.

Swap Italian sausage for chicken sausage, smoked sausage, or your favorite variety for a new twist. Try, using sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes, or add red peppers. Make it your own!

My Little Tricks for Big Flavor

  • Cut potatoes into similar sized pieces so they roast at the same rate.
  • Spread ingredients into an even layer on the baking sheet so the potatoes brown and crisp up, not steam.
  • Stir potatoes and onions halfway through cooking for golden edges.
  • Cook until the sausages reach an internal temperature of 165°F for a safe and juicy result.

Making Tomorrow’s Meal Just as Delicious

  • Leftovers make a quick lunch or easy second dinner. Store cooled sausage and potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispy texture. 
  • You can chop up leftovers and add to scrambled eggs or breakfast hash.
