Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C). This ensures a consistent cooking environment for your dish.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Then, lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Sausage: Cut the smoked turkey sausage into large chunks. This will help them cook evenly and infuse more flavor into the potatoes.
   • Onions: Chop the onion into large pieces, so they don’t burn or disappear during the roasting process.
   • Potatoes: Wash the baby red and golden potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cutting them in half exposes more surface area for roasting, leading to a better texture and flavor.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the sausage chunks, chopped onions, and halved baby potatoes. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss everything to coat well. This helps the seasoning stick and ensures even cooking.
5. Seasoning Mixture: In a separate small bowl, mix together the fine sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and cajun spice. This blend of spices will give a smoky, slightly spicy flavor to the dish.
6. Season the Sausage and Potatoes: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sausage, onions, and potatoes in the large bowl. Toss them again to ensure an even coating of the spices.
7. Roast: Spread out the sausage and potatoes mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly distributed for uniform cooking. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and cook for 55 minutes.
8. Check for Doneness: After 55 minutes, test a potato by inserting a fork. It should be tender and fully cooked. If it’s not quite done, continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is perfectly roasted and tender, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Your Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes are now ready to be served. Enjoy this comforting and savory dish!
