    Ingredients Needed

    ingredients needed for smoked 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.

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400*F.

    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!

    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 haven't made this yet but found the recipe and link on Pinterest and followed the link here. In your Pinterest post, it indicates 1 tsp of Thyme and 1 cup Cheddar Cheese. When are we supposed to add these? (It was another commentator's question too about 3 weeks ago.)

      Super easy recipe. I didn’t add any extra salt. I also put some sour cream on the potatoes when I serve myself. Came out pretty delicious.

      I just happened to come across this recipe. I wanted something different and happened to have a box of smoked sausage and some potatoes that needed using up. I omitted the onions because my hubby and son don't like them and added broccoli florets instead. Its cooking now and smells great. A great idea for for a dreary day like we are having today. I think we will top with shredded cheese after it's done! Thank you for a great meal idea!

      Every air fryer is different. Have to adjust the time accordingly!

      I don’t know what type of air fryer you use, I have a basket-type. The time listed is not even close to having the potatoes done. Cooked an additional 15 minutes & turned up the heat to 380. I wish I would’ve made them in the oven, but I was excited about cooking in the air fryer.

      I made two batches. The potatoes in the first one took too long to cook, and so there were some burnt pieces of sausage. With the 2nd batch, I cut the potatoes up more and decreased the time to 25 minutes.

      Thank you for an easy, tasty, and economical recipe! For our tastes, next time I'll let the potatoes bake about 1/2 way then stir in the sausage as hubby doesn't like his sausage as well done.

      Looks amazing!
      I am trying to get out of cooking the same old, same old.
      Do you think the onion can be left out and roughly how many potatoes would you use for just two people?
      Thanks for the recipe and any help you can give!
