Roasted Potatoes and Sausage Recipe

My kids are back to school now and it somehow feels like our weeknights got more hectic. Everything from homework to sports can quickly fill up any families weekly calendar and it feels like there is little time left for cooking and enjoying a sit-down family dinner. I love recipes that are one pan dishes and are also ones that my whole family enjoys eating. This Roasted Potatoes and Sausage recipe totally fits that bill.

This recipe isn’t one that has set measurements but is more one of those that I dump together the things I have on hand. My husband loves to grill sausage and make sausage sandwiches. There are usually a least a sausage or two left over after he grills, and I will use them in this recipe. Or sometimes I’ll just use breakfast sausages in this recipe. I have already used rope sausage as well for this recipe and just bake or grill it ahead of time. And for the potatoes it can be the purple ones or red or white ones. Are you getting the idea? This recipe is extremely flexible as you can use whatever ingredients you have on hand at the moment.

I always get big cheers when the kids ask what is for dinner and I tell them that it is going to be this potato sausage recipe. Easy to whip up, uses staple pantry ingredients, very economical, tastes delicious, the kids love it and cleanup couldn’t be easier. Add up all these facts and this dish will be a winner with any busy parent.

Remember how I said cleanup is a total breeze with this recipe? Here is a handy little tip that will leave you with one less dish to wash when dinner is over. I simply line my USA Pan Jelly Roll Sheet Pan with several sheets of foil, and when dinner is over I throw the foil in the trash and I’m left with an entirely clean pan!

I hope you and your family enjoy this easy Roasted Potatoes and Sausage dinner as much as my family and I enjoy it.
