One Pan Kosher Sausage and Potato Bake Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I discovered this recipe on one of those nights when I had kosher beef sausages in the fridge and a bag of potatoes that needed using. You know how it is when you want something hearty but don’t feel like standing over the stove for an hour. This one pan bake delivers exactly what you need with minimal effort.

The beauty of sheet pan dinners isn’t just the easy cleanup, though that’s definitely a perk. It’s how all the flavors meld together while everything roasts. The sausages release their savory juices, which the potatoes soak up like little sponges. I use small red potatoes cut into chunks because they hold their shape well and get crispy on the outside while staying fluffy inside.

Why This Sausage and Potato Combination Works

What makes this version work so well is the timing. You start the potatoes first since they take longer to cook through, then add the sausages partway through so they don’t get overcooked. A handful of sliced onions goes in with the sausages, and they caramelize beautifully in the oven heat. Fresh thyme and rosemary add an earthy note that complements both the meat and potatoes perfectly.

Perfect Timing for One Pan Success

This is comfort food that works for busy weeknights or lazy Shabbat afternoons. I serve it with a simple green salad or some steamed broccoli to round out the meal. The leftovers reheat well too, making it great for meal prep. My kids love picking out the crispy potato edges, and honestly, I can’t blame them.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs small red potatoes washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1.5 lbs kosher beef sausages any variety you prefer
  • 2 large yellow onions sliced into half-moons
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary chopped, or 1/2 tsp dried
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato chunks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until well coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, slice the sausages into 2-inch pieces if using links, or leave whole if using smaller sausages.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the potatoes to one side and add the sliced onions and sausages to the empty space.
  6. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the onions and sausages. Sprinkle with the remaining garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, the sausages are browned, and the onions are caramelized.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

You can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes if you prefer. Just cut them slightly smaller as they cook faster. Any kosher beef or lamb sausages work well here. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
