Ingredients

(Serves 4–6)

• 1 pound smoked sausage , sliced into bite-sized pieces
• 4 medium potatoes , diced into 1-inch cubes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) .
2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until evenly coated.
2. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes , stirring halfway through, to begin softening them.

Step 3: Add the Sausage

1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the potatoes to one side.
2. Add the sliced smoked sausage to the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the sausage and potatoes. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
3. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes , or until the potatoes are golden and tender, and the sausage is slightly caramelized.

Step 4: Make the Glaze

1. While the sausage and potatoes are roasting, prepare the glaze.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar , soy sauce , and Dijon mustard until smooth.

Step 5: Glaze and Finish

1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the sausage and potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
2. Pour the glaze over the hot sausage and potatoes, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
3. Return the glazed mixture to the baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2–3 minutes , watching closely, until the glaze becomes sticky and caramelized.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Transfer the glazed sausage and potatoes to a serving platter or individual plates.
2. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired for a pop of color.
3. Serve warm as a main dish or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

• Potato Prep: For even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform pieces. Parboiling them for 5–7 minutes before roasting can also help achieve a crispier texture.
• Sausage Options: Use your favorite variety of smoked sausage, such as kielbasa, andouille, or turkey sausage for a leaner option.
• Glaze Variations: Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for extra tang or heat.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days . Reheat in the oven or skillet to maintain texture.
