Notes
For optimal crispness and even cooking, ensure the ingredients are spread in a single layer on the sheet pan without overcrowding. If the pan is too full, use two sheet pans. Consider par-boiling the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before roasting to guarantee tenderness, especially for larger potatoes, then pat them dry before tossing with oil and sausage. Enhance flavor by adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the seasoning mix. A quick toss halfway through roasting promotes uniform browning. Finishing with fresh chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice after cooking brightens the dish.
