Hearty and wholesome roasted sausage and potatoes is a one-pan weeknight wonder.
This sausage and potatoes recipe has slices of smoked sausage, potatoes, and vegetables roasted together on one pan—so easy!
Holly’s Highlights for Roasted Sausage and Potatoes
- Difficulty: Chop, mix, and bake. It’s an easy one-pan meal with minimal cleanup-perfect for busy weeknights.
- Technique: Start by roasting the potatoes first since they take the longest.
- Swaps: With customizable ingredients, you can swap veggies or sausage to suit your taste.
- Time Saving Tip: Check the produce area for chopped veggies to save on prep.
Ingredient Tips
- Sausage: Smoked sausage, kielbasa, or Italian sausage works great! If using uncooked sausage, add it with the potatoes in Step 3.
- Potatoes: Thin-skinned potatoes such as red, Yukon gold, or baby potatoes are my preference, but any variety of potatoes can be used. There is no need to peel thinner-skinned potatoes.
- Vegetables: I use bell peppers, zucchini, and onion however, this recipe is versatile. Mushrooms or green beans are other great additions.
- Seasoning: This basic Italian seasoning adds lots of savory flavor to every bite.
Variations
- Sweet potatoes can be used instead of white potatoes or a combination of both.
- If you’re in a rush, swap the homemade sauce for Italian dressing or balsamic dressing.

Yummy! I made it with kabanos for the sausage, russet potatoes, mushrooms instead of peppers, a whole zucchini and a white onion because that is what I had on hand. I also made a batch and a half of the dressing because it smelled so good after I mixed it I wanted more!! Cooking this made my house smell heavenly on a cold January night! I took a lovely picture, wish I could share it!.
fast and delicious and couldn’t really be any easier! Thanks!
Love this simple and flavorful recipe! Perfect for busy days and so easy to customize with your favorite veggies. One-pan wonders are the best!
So glad you loved it! I agree, one pan meals are great for easy cleanup.
The sausage and potato roast was a big hit . I love your web site and preordered your cookbook. Cannot wait until September 8th. The sauce tou prepared for this dish was s good. I did not have zucchini so I used red and green peppers and half an onion and it was so delicious. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. We LOVED it.
Thank you for trying our recipe, Matianne! I am glad you enjoyed it. We can’t wait for you to try the delicious recipes in the cookbook!
We have made this several times & it is so good. Easy to do also.
This is delicious and bursting with flavor. One of our new favorites. I make it at least 3 times a month.
I’m so happy to hear you love this dish, Glenda!
This is our family’s current favorite go to recipe!
I was not expecting this soooo delicious!
are the sausage precooked or raw?
It is smoked sausage, so it it fully cooked.
We make this dinner at least once a week. SUCH a staple. Easy and absolutely delicious. Thank you!!
So easy and instructions were perfect. I usually get a little bothered with people who change a bunch of things in the recipe and then comment on it, but I did not have red pepper flakes, so I added a dash a cayenne pepper for a little heat, and it still worked–everyone loved it. Did an entire baking sheet of diced potatoes, and then a separate sheet of onions, red peppers, and 1 lb of sausage, so I doubled the dressing. Thanks again, Holly!
This was a big hit with my family!
Great easy dinner! Flavors are wonderful! I will be adding this to our meal rotation!
Easy recipe for a quick meal. Great flavor! I will be making this one again.
