This filling Smoked Sausage and Potatoes meal blends well-spiced potatoes with flavorful smoked sausage, all baked until they turn golden. Every mouthful offers a pleasing mix of textures – crunchy outsides leading to soft insides – while the smoked paprika brings out the natural taste of the sausage.
I've noticed this dish gets even tastier when the potatoes form a golden outer layer during baking, adding extra crunch and flavor.

I now can't make this dish without smoked paprika – it's my go-to trick that works so well with the sausage.
Tasty Pairings
Eat with a basic green salad or some fresh bread. Top with a fried egg for a breakfast twist.
Mix It Up
Switch the sausage type or toss in some colorful bell peppers. Spanish chorizo gives it a whole new flavor profile.
