Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs small red potatoes, scrubbed and halved or quartered if large
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Sausage
- 1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or hot), casings removed
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on size. Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, dried rosemary, and dried thyme until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on a large baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Cook Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble the Italian sausage into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat in the pan for the sauce.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage fat and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Add Dijon mustard and continue simmering for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet of prepared potatoes into the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they become tender inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Combine and Finish Roasting: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the cooked sausage to the potatoes. Toss gently to combine everything evenly. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sausage and potatoes, then toss again to coat. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired to add a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the dish.
- Sweet or hot Italian sausage can be used depending on your spice preference.
- For smaller portions, halve the recipe accordingly.
- Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried if available, adjusting quantities.
- This dish reheats well and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
