Oven Roasted Sausage and Potatoes

I thought it was time this recipe needed some new pics. Updated 8/19/15

I shared this recipe on my facebook page about a week ago. Little did I know, that this post would soon have over 600,000 views, 20,000 some shares, and over 100 comments! This post was so popular, that it has gained me 500 new fans in less than 5 days. Yes, all you readers and facebook page owners out there, it is possible to get new likes and fans without having to have some kind of giveaway on your website!

Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

 

 

 

Since this post was so popular, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. This is such a simple and easy meal. It takes less than 10 minutes to chop everything up and it takes 40 minutes in the oven to make. At first, when I tried this, I used this really awful spicy sausage. I got it, thinking that it wouldn’t be that spicy but holy heck, this was the most spiciest sausage I’ve ever had. Ben did not like this either. I got a better sausage that wasn’t spicy at all and this was a really fast easy meal to make. I want to try it with eggs once.  Top with cheese and some pretty greens like scallions or parsley to garnish.

  7. What kind of sausage did you end up using? Any other suggestions for the sausage type?

    Thanks.

  8. I used smoked sausage. Pretty much any kind of sausage works for this. I don’t recommend the real spicy sausage.

  11. On the oven roasted potatoes and sausage. Would a one pound package of frozen diced potatoes work just as well?
    Or would they get to hard and crusty?

  12. Just cooked this for dinner. Used apple/chicken sausages (Adeles) and medium white potatoes!
    My family loved it and I will definitely make it again!

  16. One of my favorite meals. I tend to use. Nice beef or garlic sausage from my favorite meat market. Im looking for a new way and I think I found it. Will be trying this tonight!! Thnx

  17. One of my favorite meals. I tend to use a nice beef or garlic sausage from my favorite meat market.I usually cook it on top of the stove but Im looking for a new way and I think I found it. Will be trying this tonight!! Thnx

  20. I am glad that you made this and have enjoyed it. Its nice to see your photos. It’s a pity you didn’t use your own photos on your facebook page however. It makes me sad when people steal my photographs and text and then present it as their own without giving credit where credit is due. That’s really poor form. Let’s hope that others don’t steal your photos from this page.

  21. Hi Marie, I had made that recipe after I had posted your picture from facebook. I didn’t know how to change it to my own image at the time. I don’t do that anymore and just post my own recipes to my facebook page. I’ll try to the include the link to whomever’s recipe it was too. Sorry, I did not give you any credit for that and I should have. I had found the recipe at some site that the recipe had not even linked back to yours. I will give you credit on this post. Sorry again for the confusion.

  22. This is a really good recipe but I had to cover my dish because it seemed like everything was drying out. Don t know what I did wrong. It still taste good but didn’t t roast like it should have.

  23. Could I use butter instead of olive oil? And would adding corn and green beans work as well?

  24. Yeah you could use butter. I would melt it first. What type of corn and green beans are we talking about here? Are they canned?

  25. I make something pretty similar but with Cumberland sausages. I’ve been looking for a new twist and I think I just found it. I’ve never tried adding grated cheese, either.

  27. I have cooked this dish many times and brought it to a party and some of my friends say that they are the best potato dish they have ever tasted. I cooked some today and was thinking of adding some Jimmy Dean sausage but didn’t know if I should precook the sausage first or put in raw like I do with my Manda hot sausage . I sometimes put in jalapeños, green onions, and bacon in it. You can add just about anything to this recipe. It is addictive if you like potatoes and sausage like I do. So anyone reading the comments wondering if you should give it a try, I say try it and I bet you will be making it again and again. So easy and doesn’t take long to fix. I also add cheese and stir and then top it with more cheese. I give this dish a 5 star for taste and how easy it is to make. Enjoy!!!

  28. Thanks Julie, it is a very versatile recipe. Green onions and bacon sound fabulous I’ll have to try it!

  29. This is great with just potatoes and sausage, but is over the top if you throw in some sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips and even rutabagas. We love to top ours with sour cream and salsa, and or hot sauce. Might try it with eggs too, that sounds like a winning combo

  30. I just came across this recipe and it looks delicious! The only thing is I don’t like Thyme…is there a alternate herb/spice/flavor that would work just as well?

  32. I made this earlier this week , it was so delicious! I used smoked turkey sausage and added some diced red pepper. The paprika and thyme add great flavor, and the cheese at the end, too. My house smelled fabulous! Thanks for the recipe.

  33. I just made it and added a little BBQ sauce just to coat that mixed with the cheese was amazing thanks!!!

  34. I made this a while ago, but being summer, I made it in a foil pack (1/2 recipe). Just put it on the grill, kept flipping every so often, when it was done, I just brought it in, sprinkled on the cheese and wrapped it loosely until the cheese melted. Came out very good. Oh, and I had added some green pepper to the mix.

  35. This is a family favorite. Very versatile. Great leftover and easy to double.
