    Why You Will Love Sausage and Potatoes

    Sheet pan meals are the best and they are so easy because of the easy clean up after! This meal still continues to be one of my favorite recipes today.

    This recipe has been adapted and made suitable for a WW diet. The original recipe called for 1 package of smoked sausage, 5 medium potatoes, and 2 tablepoons of olive oil just in case people were looking for old the recipe.

    Ingredients Needed for Sausage and Potatoes

    Ingredients needed for sausage and potatoes.
    • Smoked Sausage - If you have never had smoked sausage (of ANY kind) made from a butcher you are missing out. The taste and flavor of smoked sausage are phenomenal. Or you can get a flavored sausage like chicken and apple to help lower the calories.
    • Potatoes - When cutting the potatoes make sure they are the same size as the sausage rounds are so that everything cooks easily in the oven. Same goes for the onions.
    • Use red or yellow potatoes
    • Onions - When roasted onions in the oven they almost turn out like caramelized onions that you would make in a skillet. Just these three ingredients are so simple and make for one tasty dish.
    • See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    How to make Sausage and Potatoes

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400*F.

    Step 2: Line a large baking sheet with tin foil, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

    Step 3: Put the sausage rounds, onions, and potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.  Toss together with your hands until everything is evenly distributed. Pour this out onto the sheet pan and spread out the sausage and potatoes.

    Tips for Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

    • If you are looking to make this dish a little more Weight Watcher friendly use chicken sausage or turkey sausage instead of smoked sausage. This will help lower the points and use less oil as well.  If you use cooking spray instead oil make sure to spray the potatoes and sausage liberally.
    • Cooked chicken sausage is 3oz for 3 smart points
    • Cooked turkey sausage is 3 oz for 4 smart points
    • Smoked paprika is a good sub for regular paprika.
    • Use olive oil cooking spray in place of olive oil
    • Disclaimer: The pictures were taken made with ground pork and since  I made this recipe I have used chicken and turkey sausage. I'll try to post an updated picture using these two sausages. I apologize if that misleading.

    Smoked Sausage and Potatoes Air Fryer

    Set air fryer temp to 350. Place potatoes and onions in a 5.3qt air fryer basket and drizzle with olive oil.

    Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes and onions until everything is coated. Set the timer for 6 minutes and let the air fryer go.

    Once the 6 minutes are up, take out the basket and add the sausage rounds and continue cooking for 6 minutes. This recipe is so good in the air fryer!

    Smoked Sausage and Potatoes with Cheese

    As soon as the potatoes and sausage come out of the sprinkle some cheese on top and place it back in the oven until all the cheese has melted. This will take up to 5 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What other vegetables can I add to this? 

    Next time if you're up for it try this meal with green bell pepper, red bell pepper carrots, or green beans. 

    How to store leftovers: 

    Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.

      I have to say, the recipe was great but that you added "Turn off oven" at the end, that's is hilarious and helpful!
