3. Season Everything
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Potatoes
- Sausage slices
- Onion
- Garlic
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in the paprika, pepper, oregano (or thyme), and salt.
Mix everything thoroughly so that all ingredients are well coated with oil and spices.
4. Arrange in the Baking Dish
Transfer the mixture into a large baking dish or sheet pan. Spread it out in a single layer—this helps everything roast properly instead of steaming.
5. Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes.
Halfway through cooking (around the 20-minute mark), take the pan out and give everything a good stir. This ensures even browning and prevents sticking.
6. Optional Finishing Touch
If you’d like a richer finish, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top during the last 5–10 minutes of baking. Let it melt and turn slightly golden.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Once the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the outside, and the sausage is nicely browned, remove the dish from the oven.
Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—use a larger tray if needed
- Use smoked sausage with strong flavor for the best taste
- Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like parsley) before serving for extra freshness
Variations You Can Try
- Spicy version: Add chili flakes or spicy sausage
- Vegetable-packed: Include broccoli, green beans, or mushrooms
- Creamy twist: Mix in a bit of cream or add a cheese sauce before baking
