Sheet Pan Smoked Sausage and Potatoes
Sheet Pan Smoked Sausage and Potatoes is an easy weeknight dinner with crispy-edged potatoes, caramelized onions, and flavorful smoked sausage. Made with simple seasonings and ready in under an hour.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage
- 1 large sweet yellow onion
- 1 pound baby yellow and/or red potatoes
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
- Slice sausage diagonally into coins. Cut potatoes (washed) into 1-inch pieces and slice onion into bite-sized chunks.
- Add sausage, potatoes, and onions to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then add seasonings. Toss to coat evenly.
- Pour mixture onto prepared sheet pan and spread into a single layer.
- Roast for 25 minutes, then stir. Continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and golden around the edges.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Smoked Paprika: Use smoked paprika for the best flavor. Regular paprika works in a pinch, but smoked complements the sausage and adds more depth.
- Potato Size: Cut potatoes into even 1-inch pieces so they cook at the same rate. Smaller pieces crisp faster; larger chunks may need extra time.
- Don't Overcrowd: Spread everything in a single layer for crispier potatoes. If doubling the recipe, use two sheet pans.
- Easy Cleanup: Line your pan with foil or parchment to prevent sticking and make cleanup simple.
- Check Early: Start checking around 40 to 45 minutes. Oven temperatures vary, and potatoes are done when fork-tender and golden around the edges.
- Stir Once: Stir halfway through cooking for more even browning on all sides.
- Sausage is Pre-Cooked: Smoked sausage is fully cooked, so you're just heating it through and getting a nice caramelized crust.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Reheating: Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, or reheat in a skillet or oven at 375°F for crispier results.
- Meal Prep Tip: Leftovers are delicious with fried eggs and toast for breakfast the next day.
