Sausage Potato Sheet Pan Meal

It’s always good to have a few no-drama recipes lying around that you can easily change depending on who’s over at your house. This Sausage and Potato Bake is definitely one of those meals! 

First, it’s simple to make. You’re basically just mixing all the ingredients together and throwing them in the oven until the potatoes are cooked. Can’t get much easier than that…and not a lot of clean-up, either! Drama-free!!

But also, you can tweak my Potatoes and Sausage recipe for just about any occasion. Got a lot of people over? Double it, or triple it! Want even more flavor? Add your favorite herbs and seasonings. Family needs more veggies in their diet? Throw in carrots, green beans, and more! Need some heat? Time to bring out more peppers, chili powder, and paprika! Do the kids demand cheese on everything? Turns out, this recipe is fantastic with parmesan on top!

Really, you’ll want to save this bake as a “keystone” recipe in your house. You won’t regret it!

Sausage Potato Recipe: FAQs

➡️ How long will leftovers last in the fridge?

In an air-tight container, they’ll remain good in the fridge for about 4 days.

➡️ Can you double this recipe?

Yes! Or halve it. Or really anything you need. It’s great for feeding any number of people you need it for, really.

➡️ Are there any additions you recommend?

Definitely add any veggies you enjoy – carrots, green beans, different kinds of peppers (for heat), and cauliflower are really good, for instance!! Various seasonings like Italian mix or adobo seasoning are also heavenly. And finally, experiment with herbs like rosemary and thyme. This is a very customizable recipe!

➡️ What kind of sausage is best in this recipe? Can I substitute it out for [X] sausage?

I really think standard rope sausage hits the spot in this recipe!! However, using Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or turkey sausage is also delicious. You can even give the recipe a Mexican twist if you grab some chorizo.

➡️ How many servings does this potatoes and sausage recipe yield?

About 4-6 servings/plates, enough for most families (or just a house of your favorite people)!

➡️ How long does it take to make the recipe?

A little under an hour. You’ll need 15 minutes to prep the recipe and about 35 minutes to cook it.

➡️ My potatoes aren’t cooking evenly – is there something I’m doing wrong?

When putting all your ingredients into the pan, try not to put anything on top of the potatoes (like the sausages). This will prevent them from cooking correctly.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound rope sausage, cut into 2-inch sections
  • 5 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small onion, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • Add all of the ingredients except the sausage to a large mixing bowl and mix, making sure everything is evenly coated. Transfer the ingredients to a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Stir the potato mixture on the baking sheet and add the sausage pieces.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the sausage is heated through.

Notes

AIR FRYER METHOD

  1. Set the air fryer temp to 375°F.
  2. Place the potatoes and onions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes and onions until everything is well coated.
  3. Transfer the potato mixture to the basket of the air fryer. Set the timer for 15 minutes and cook, shaking the basket once after about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Once the time is up, take out the basket, add the sausage pieces, and continue cooking for 8 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is heated through.

    The raw sausage worked! It did take about 10 minutes extra, and some of the onion was quite brown, although not burnt. Next time I will cut back on the oil a bit, to allow for the grease cooking out of the sausage.
    Definitely a delicious and easy recipe.

  2. Salome Ellen says:

    You might want to update the recipe to specify “fully cooked rope sausage.” Where I grew up (in south central Pennsylvania) and several places I have lived since, rope sausage is definitely raw, and will not cook in the 10-15 minutes you suggest. I am trying the recipe now, putting 3/4 inch pieces of raw sausage in with the potatoes. I will report on how it goes.
