Equipment

1 large baking pan

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds Italian sausage (5 or 6 sausages )
1 ½ pounds potatoes (4 potatoes)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleaning up easier
Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Peel and chop the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the cubed potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Pour the seasoned olive oil mixture evenly over the potatoes. Now, toss everything together directly on the baking sheet, making sure the potatoes are well coated. Spread the potatoes back into a single layer.
Nestle the sausages in amongst the potatoes. Drizzling an extra spoonful of olive oil over each sausage.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on the edges. You can also flip the sausage and potatoes halfway through baking for more even browning.
A fork should easily pierce through a potato chunk, and the sausage should be cooked through with no pink in the center.
Serve immediately while hot. You can garnish with additional chopped fresh rosemary for a fresh touch.

Notes

Tips

For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage instead of mild sausage.
Add other vegetables to the mix, such as chopped onions, bell peppers, or broccoli florets.
If your potatoes start to brown too quickly before they are cooked through, tent the baking sheet with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
