Step-by-Step Guided Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut 14 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa into 1/2-inch coins. Dice 1 lb baby yellow potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice 2 bell peppers and 1 red onion into 1-inch chunks.
Dicing potatoes small (1/2-inch) ensures they roast to tender crispiness in 25 minutes without parboiling.
Spread all chopped ingredients onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Toss with tongs.
Parchment paper prevents the browned potato crusts from sticking to the aluminum pan.
Spread ingredients across the sheet pan in a single flat layer. Roast at 400°F for 15 minutes undisturbed.
The sausage renders flavorful smoky fat that coats and crisps the potato cubes.
Flip and toss ingredients with a spatula. Return to oven for 10 more minutes until potato edges are golden brown and sausage edges are caramelized.
Check potato doneness with a fork; it should pierce through with zero resistance.
Smoked sausage is already fully cooked, meaning dinner cannot be undercooked. You are simply crisping the edges and roasting the veggies.
Separate sausage coins and potatoes on the plate without onions.
