Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes Dinner

A friend of mine sent me this recipe over the Internet.  It is from the web site www.keyingredient.com.  As luck would have it, I had most of the ingredients, except the smoked sausage - so I used polish kielbasa instead.  Don't think that made much difference.

This is another quick and easy meal.  Love these!!!  And it is good, too!!  The hardest part (if you can call it that) is chopping up the sausage, potatoes and onions.

Roasted Smoked Sausage (or Polish Kielbasa) and Potatoes

Ingredients:

1 package of smoked sausage or polish kielbasa, sliced in 1 inch slices and then cut in half
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
5 large potatoes (I used the red "new" potatoes) and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes (I did not peel them - your choice)
olive oil
salt
pepper
paprika
dried thyme
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Put the sausage slices, onions and potatoes into a large bowl.  Drizzle with a couple tablespoons of olive oil.  Season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika and the dried thyme.

Toss together and pour onto the baking sheet.

Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour (45 minutes was almost too long for my oven).  Halfway through, using a spatula, flip the potatoes and sausage so they don't get too brown.

Scatter the cheese over the top and put back in the oven for one minute to melt the cheese.

Comment:

This was good.  Both my resident expert (my husband) and his assistant (my son) loved it.  The only thing I would do different is lining the baking sheet with the foil.  When I tried turning the potatoes and sausage, the foil would tear.  I think next time, I will omit that step.  Otherwise, this is an excellent quick and delicious dinner.  Would be great with a salad.  We will definitely be seeing this again on our dinner plates!!
