Includes
4x Pasture Raised Italian Sausage
4x Large Potatoes
1x Red Pepper
1x Yellow Pepper
2x Onions
1x Green Onion
1 x Garlic
Prep the potatoes: Let’s start with the potatoes since we need to parboil them. Peel and cut about 4 large yellow potatoes into wedges. Russet potatoes are a great alternative.
Add the potato wedges to a large pot of cold salted water.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and then simmer until tender or a knife can pierce through. This takes about 8-10 minutes all depending on how thick your wedges are.
Prep the vegetables: Slice 2 medium onions, 4-5 green onions, 1 red pepper, and 1 yellow pepper. Depending on the size of your garlic and your preference, coarsely chop about 3-4 medium cloves.
We use parsley to garnish our Italian sausage dish so coarsely chop about 3-4 tablespoons.
Prep the sausage: The sausage can be left as is or cut up. I prefer to cut my Italian sausages into thirds. You can use either mild or strong, once again, your preference.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place oven grate on the lower center rack, which is the second from the bottom.
INSTRUCTIONS
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet, over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat to medium, add 3-4 chopped garlic cloves and stir for about 30 seconds.
Add the 2 sliced onions and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you like a little heat, go ahead and add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
Add the Italian sausages to the pan and combine with the onions. Saute for about 10 minutes.
Time to check our parboiled potatoes.
If a knife can easily be inserted, it is done. With a slotted spoon, transfer the parboiled potatoes to a large bowl.
Add 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Combine and set aside
Time to add the sliced red and yellow peppers and the green onions to the pan. Saute for about 5 minutes or until they just begin to soften.
Transfer both the sausage and the potato mixture to a large deep baking dish (approximately 9 x 13 inches).
Toss gently together.
If desired, sprinkle with a little more paprika over the top, about ½ teaspoon or so.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until most of the moisture has evaporated and the top layer appears to be nicely roasted.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve
