Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 3

Slice the yellow onion and red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, combine the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to evenly coat the vegetables.

Step 7

Cut the Italian sausage links into 3- to 4-inch pieces and nestle them amongst the vegetables in the skillet or baking dish.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sausages are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).

Step 9

Halfway through the cooking time, use a spatula to stir the vegetables and flip the sausage pieces for even browning.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven once fully cooked, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top, and serve hot.
