Tips for Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

– One helpful tip is to cut the potatoes smaller if you are short on time. Smaller pieces cook faster and still taste great.

– You can also use baby potatoes and simply cut them in half or quarters to save prep time.

– If you want crispier potatoes, make sure they are in a single layer and not piled on top of each other.

How to Make Smoked Sausage and Potatoes :

Step 1

Before you begin start by washing the potatoes really well. Then cut them into small, even pieces so they cook at the same speed. Try to keep them about the same size so none are too hard or too soft at the end. Place the potatoes into a large bowl.

Step 2

Transition to add the sliced smoked sausage to the bowl with the potatoes. Drizzle everything with olive oil. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Use a spoon or clean hands to mix everything together until the potatoes and sausage are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

Step 3

From there choose how you want to cook the dish. If you are using the oven, preheat it and spread the mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

This helps everything cook evenly and get a little crispy. Bake until the potatoes are soft inside and lightly golden on the outside. Halfway through cooking, gently stir everything so nothing sticks and all sides cook evenly.

Step 4

The process continues with if you are using the stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato and sausage mixture to the pan and spread it out. Let it cook without stirring for a few minutes so the potatoes can brown.

Then stir gently and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is heated through. This step takes patience, but it is worth it for the flavor.

Step 5

Finish it off by once everything is cooked, taste and add a little more salt or seasoning if needed. Serve warm and enjoy right away.
