Here’s an easy, hearty Smoked Sausage and Potato Bake 🥔🌭
Great for weeknights and very customizable.
Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage (kielbasa or similar), sliced
- 4–5 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon gold or red work best)
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika is great if you have it)
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional add-ins: bell peppers, broccoli, carrots
- Optional topping: shredded cheddar or mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prep potatoes: If they’re large, cut them into small cubes so they cook evenly.
- Mix everything in a large bowl: potatoes, sausage, onion, olive oil, and seasonings.
- Spread evenly in a greased baking dish or sheet pan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, stir, and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and lightly crispy.
- Optional cheese: Sprinkle cheese on top and bake 5 more minutes until melted.
Tips & Variations
- Want it crispy? Broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
- Add a splash of chicken broth before baking for softer potatoes.
- Serve with sour cream, mustard, or a side salad.
- Works great in an air fryer too (375°F for ~20 minutes, shaking halfway).
If you want, I can make this one-pan, slow cooker, or cheesy casserole-style 😄
