Oven Roasted Sausage and Potatoes

Step 3: Arrange the Sausages

Place the sausages on a baking sheet or in a large oven-safe pan. Arrange the potatoes around the sausages. If you’re using onions or bell peppers, add them in now—they caramelize beautifully alongside the meat and potatoes.

Tip: Use parchment paper or a lightly greased pan to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 4: Roast in the Oven

Place the pan in the preheated oven. Roast for 25-35 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through.

• The sausages should be browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C for pork or beef).
• The potatoes should be golden, crisp on the outside, and tender inside.

Step 5: Optional Broil for Extra Crisp

For an extra touch of crispiness, switch your oven to the broil setting for the last 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

Once roasted, remove the pan from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Serve this dish hot, either as a main course or a side alongside a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables.

Tips for the Perfect Oven Roasted Sausage and Potatoes

1. Choose the right sausage: Flavor varies by type—spicy Italian adds heat, while bratwurst gives a milder taste.
2. Cut potatoes evenly: This ensures all pieces cook at the same rate.
3. Don’t overcrowd the pan: Leaving space allows the edges to crisp.
4. Season generously: Roasting concentrates flavors, so a little extra seasoning goes a long way.
5. Experiment with herbs: Fresh rosemary, thyme, or oregano give a fragrant aroma.
