There are some meals that don’t need fancy introductions. They’re just reliable. Easy. Comforting.
And they come together with things you probably already have in the fridge. This sheet pan sausage and potatoes is one of those meals.
The sausage gets golden and crisp on the edges, and the potatoes roast up tender and buttery. You can easily change it up based on what vegetables you have on hand or whatever sausage was on sale that week.
It’s flexible, dependable, and filling. Basically, it’s everything a good dinner should be.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into ½-inch coins
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved (or diced russets, Yukon golds, etc.)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

- Return to the oven and roast for another 15–20 minutes, until the sausage is browned and the potatoes are tender with crispy edges.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. It’s great on its own or alongside a simple green salad.
Tips & Variations
- Veggie swaps: Use whatever you’ve got—zucchini, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or green beans all work well.
