SAUSAGE AND POTATOES IN OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into small 1" x 1/2 inch pieces. These take the longest to cook so cutting them small ensures everything cooks evenly.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Spray one large non-stick baking sheet, or two small ones with olive oil spray to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
• In a large bowl, combine potatoes, onions, peppers, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic powder. Mix well to be sure everything is coated with oil and seasoned evenly. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the center of the oven; bake for 15 minutes.
• Use a spoon to toss so nothing sticks or burns.
• Add the sausage to the baking sheet with the potatoes and vegetables and bake, tossing once or twice for 25-35 minutes, or until your potatoes are cooked through.
• Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your potatoes and sausage, keep an eye so they don't burn.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (f). * or grill
• Fine dice the onion and carrot and set aside. You may use a food processor for this if you want to.
• Cut sausage about 1/2 in. - 3/4 inch slices . Set aside.
• Cut potatoes into 1- 1 1/2 inch cubes. Set aside. (sometimes I will cut the potatoes while I'm browning the sausage)
• Heat large pot. Add olive oil then brown sausage. Remove from pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. You want to leave as much oil as possible in the pot.
• Add the diced carrot and onion to the pot and cook for just a minute.
• Now add back the sausage and add potatoes, along with the garlic powder, celery seed, parsley and salt and pepper. Give it a good mix then add the flour and stir to coat everything.
• Add chicken stock and stir well remembering to scrape the bottom to loosen the yummy bits. Spray a 9x13 in. baking dish . Pour mixture into the pan,cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes to an hour or till potatoes are tender. Let sit for 5 minutes so the liquid will thicken before serving.
• * You can skip the oven all together and put it on the grill or smoker. Keep it over indirect heat. Check it and give it a stir every so often.... Very good !
