Sheet Pan Roasted Potatoes and Kielbasa

 

Kielbasa is an outlier to the beloved group of foodstuffs known as sausages. Kielbasa is Polish in origin, coarse in texture and has a very heady garlic flavor. It is typically made of both beef and pork and what sets it apart is that this sausage is either lightly smoked...or not smoked at all.

This meal is so easy to prepare... you just need a knife and a sheet pan.  All you do is slice up the two ingredients and throw them on the pan. Add some olive oil with a few other goodies...then spread it out and roast it to perfection. This recipe is from Natasha's Kitchen.

INGREDIENTS

3 pounds small red potatoes, sliced 1/3" thick

1 pound Polish Kielbasa, sliced  3/4" thick 

2 tablespoons minced parsley

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 garlic cloves, pressed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400º. Place sliced potatoes and kielbasa in a pile on a sheet pan.
2. Add parsley, garlic, salt, olive oil to pile and toss to combine. Spread ingredients out flat on the baking sheet and bake at 400˚F for 50 minutes (potatoes should be browned and crisp). Stir halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
