Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sausages
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub and peel the russet potatoes, then dice them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set both aside.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes on a large, rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausages to the skillet and cook them, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and fully cooked through (about 10-12 minutes). Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Toss everything together to combine.
Slice the cooked sausages into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Toss gently to distribute the flavors evenly.
Transfer the 'Pigs and Potatoes' to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
