Ingredients Needed

Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes - Recipe Diaries (2)

Smoked Sausage - If you have never had smoked sausage (of ANY kind) made from a butcher you are missing out. The taste and flavor of smoked sausage are phenomenal. Or you can get a flavored sausage like chicken and apple to help lower the calories.

Potatoes - When cutting the potatoes make sure they are the same size as the sausage rounds are so that everything cooks easily in the oven. Same goes for the onions.

Use red or yellow potatoes

Onions - When roasted onions in the oven they almost turn out like caramelized onions that you would make in a skillet. Just these three ingredients are so simple and make for one tasty dish.

Tips for Oven Roasted Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

  • If you are looking to make this dish a little more Weight Watcher friendly use chicken sausage or turkey sausage instead of smoked sausage. This will help lower the points and use less oil as well. If you use cooking spray instead oil make sure to spray the potatoes and sausage liberally.
  • Cooked chicken sausage is 3oz for 3 smart points
  • Cooked turkey sausage is 3 oz for 4 smart points
  • Smoked paprika is a good sub for regular paprika.
  • Use olive oil cooking spray in place of olive oil
  • Disclaimer: The pictures were taken made with ground pork and since I made this recipe I have used chicken and turkey sausage. I'll try to post an updated picture using these two sausages. I apologize if that misleading.

Air Fryer Method

Set air fryer temp to 350. Place potatoes and onions in a 5.3qt air fryer basket and drizzle with olive oil.

Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes and onions until everything is coated. Set the timer for 6 minutes and let the air fryer go.

Once the 6 minutes are up, take out the basket and add the sausage rounds and continue cooking for 6 minutes. This recipe is so good in the air fryer!

Frequently Asked Questions

What other vegetables can I add to this?
