Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 3 lbs small red potatoes, cut into 1/4″ thick rings
- 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil (or any high heat cooking oil)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh parsley (or 1/2 Tbsp dried parsley)
Sausage
- 1 lb kielbasa or sausage, cut into 3/4″ thick rings (Polish kielbasa recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and slice the small red potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rings to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Season Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with 2 tablespoons of extra light olive oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, pressed garlic cloves, and minced fresh parsley until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Arrange Potatoes for Roasting: Lay the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan to ensure even roasting and maximum crispness.
- Add Kielbasa: Scatter the kielbasa slices on top of the potatoes, distributing them evenly to allow flavors to meld during roasting.
- Roast the Dish: Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes, flipping the sausage and potatoes halfway through to promote even browning and a crispy texture.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven once the potatoes are golden and tender and the kielbasa is nicely browned. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve hot for a comforting one-pan meal.
Notes
- You can substitute the kielbasa with any smoked sausage or your favorite variety of sausage for different flavor profiles.
- Cutting potatoes uniformly helps them cook evenly and get crispy.
- Use a high heat oil like extra light olive oil or avocado oil for better roasting without smoke.
- Flipping halfway through roasting helps achieve an even caramelization on both potatoes and sausage.
- For extra crispiness, you may broil for 2-3 minutes at the end but watch closely to avoid burning.
