Instructions
- Cut 1 pound of Cajun smoked sausage and 1 pound of smoked turkey sausage into ½-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
- Slice 2 large onions into wedge-shaped pieces approximately 1-inch wide.
- Halve 2 pounds of baby red potatoes into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Transfer sausage rounds, potato halves, and onion wedges into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the ingredients in the bowl.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and add salt and pepper directly onto the mixture.
- Use your hands to thoroughly toss and coat every ingredient with the seasonings and oil.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Spread the seasoned mixture in a single layer across the baking sheet, ensuring no overlapping pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and position the rack in the center.
- Slide the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking.
- Check the potatoes with a fork – they should be tender and golden brown when done.
- Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
Notes
- Use a cast-iron skillet for extra crispy edges and deeper flavor development on your potatoes and sausages.
- When selecting sausages, opt for high-quality smoked Polish varieties with robust seasonings for maximum taste impact.
- Allow potatoes to sit in seasoning mixture for 10-15 minutes before baking to help spices penetrate more deeply.
- Chop onions into consistent sizes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning around the edges of your baking sheet.
