Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) beef smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
Vegetables:
- 2.5 pounds (1.13 kilograms) baby creamer potatoes, halved
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
Seasonings and Fats:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons butter, cubed
Instructions
- Prepare a welcoming culinary landscape by heating the kitchen oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously coating a 9×13-inch baking vessel with nonstick spray.
- Transform creamer potatoes into flavor-packed gems by tumbling them in olive oil, creating a glistening canvas for a robust spice blend of Slap Ya Mama seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and fiery red pepper flakes.
- Introduce hearty smoked sausage, vibrant diced onions, and colorful bell peppers to the seasoned potato ensemble, gently folding them together to create a harmonious mixture.
- Gracefully transfer the medley into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution and strategically placing cubes of butter across the surface for rich, melting goodness.
- Shield the dish with aluminum foil, allowing the ingredients to steam and meld flavors during an initial 30-minute baking journey.
- Unveil the creation by removing the foil, then continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until potatoes achieve a tender, golden-crusted perfection.
- Grant the dish a brief 5-minute resting period, allowing flavors to consolidate and making serving a delightful experience.
Notes
- Swap out Slap Ya Mama seasoning for a low-sodium alternative to reduce salt intake for health-conscious diners.
- Use sweet potatoes or a mix of potato varieties to add nutritional diversity and create exciting color contrasts in the dish.
- Choose turkey or chicken smoked sausage for a leaner protein option without compromising rich, smoky flavor profiles.
- Experiment with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme sprinkled on top before the final baking stage to elevate the overall aromatic experience.
