Ingredients:

• 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds

• 4-5 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)

• ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Optional: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

2. Prep the ingredients: Wash and dice the potatoes (no need to peel unless you prefer it). Slice the smoked sausage and chop the onion.

3. Mix it all together: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, sausage, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well-coated.

4. Bake it up: Spread the mixture evenly in your prepared baking dish. Roast in the oven for 35–45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the sausage is slightly crisp on the edges.

5. Optional finishing touch: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a melty, gooey finish. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
