Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes – an easy sheet pan meal with smoked sausage (my fav), potatoes, and onions – your whole family will love!
This recipe was created back in 2014. When I shared it on my Facebook page it went nuts with over 600,000 views, 20,000 some shares, and over 100 comments. I can not take all the credit for this, I found it on Big Blue Binder recipe page and still make it today. Sheet pan meals are the best and they are so easy. It 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.
Reasons why I love this meal:
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.
Potatoes – Potatoes are my favorite vegetable. They are loaded with potassium and help keep you full. Potatoes have more potassium than a banana does.
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.
How to make Oven Roasted Sausage and Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400*F.
- Line a large baking sheet with tin foil, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cut sausage into rounds. Chop the onions and potatoes the same size. This helps with cooking time.
- 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.
- Place into the heated oven and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender. Turn off the oven.
Tips for Oven Roasted 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.
Air Fryer Method
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!

J’ai adoré votre recette et pour mon prochain brunch (quand la pandémie sera passée), je vais certainement la refaire.
J’ai utilisé des petites saucisses cocktail enrobées de bacon que j’avais déjà préparées et qui étaient au congélateur. Je n’ai eu qu’à les couper en deux (encore congelées) afin de retirer le cure-dent. Je les ai mélangées avec des pommes de terre Russet et de l’oignon Vidalia coupés de grosseur égales et enrobés d’une bonne huile d’olive assaisonnés d’un peu de poudre d’ail et d’épices Old Bay. Cuisson tel qu’indiqué en les tournant aux 15 minutes, et en finissant à Broil quelques minutes après avoir enlevé le papier d’aluminium.
Cette recette est une heureuse alternative et se prête bien à plusieurs variantes de saucisses: merguez, italiennes et autres.
Un gros merci!

Love this recipe! It’s easy and yummy. I like to mix it up sometimes and add different herbs/spices, like rosemary and garlic, or caraway seeds. Sometimes I add bell peppers. I’ve eaten this many different ways just about every week for the past few months. I have some cooking right now and this time I’m adding parmesan cheese at the end.

We just loved it! So simple yet full of flavor. I will make this again and again. We had it for dinner with sautéed bell peppers (red, orange & green) but I plan to make it for brunch with some scrambled eggs when I have overnight guests. Impressive!

Can you use Kansas instead of sausage?
AKnAK says
YUM! Had some garlic smoked sausage from Costco, added some chopped mini peppers & used garlic salt & smoked paprika. Was very good and quick & easy.
Antonia says
It turned out really good! I used the little red potatoes and just used as much potatoes that could fill up the same bowl I filled up with the chopped onions so I could make sure it was an even mixture.
