Ingredients
- small to medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes
- fully cooked Andouille-style chicken sausage
- red bell pepper
- yellow bell pepper
- orange bell pepper
- green bell pepper
- red onion
- Cajun seasoning
- olive oil
- freshly minced garlic
- fresh chopped parsley (optional)
- green onions (optional)
- hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash potatoes and chop into roughly 1-inch bite-sized cubes. For extra tender interiors, you can par-boil them for 5-7 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly.
- Slice your pre-cooked chicken sausage into ½-inch thick rounds. Chop bell peppers into 1-inch pieces and red onion into thick wedges or large chunks.
- In a very large mixing bowl, combine the prepared potatoes, sliced chicken sausage, bell peppers, and red onion. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, and a generous amount of Cajun seasoning. Toss everything together until every piece is evenly coated.
- Transfer the seasoned mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading everything into a single layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan and stir everything to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and beautifully browned, and the sausage and vegetables are slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot and immediately.
