Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs small potatoes (such as baby Yukon Golds or red potatoes), quartered
  • 1 lb pre-cooked chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
  • 1 red onion, chopped into large pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, halved, one half sliced, the other for juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the quartered potatoes, sliced chicken sausage, and chopped red onion. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the lemon slices among the ingredients.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the sausage is lightly browned. For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice from the remaining half a lemon over the cooked meal. Toss gently, garnish with additional fresh dill if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips

  • For a bit more char, ensure ingredients are in a single layer and don't overcrowd the pan. Use two sheets if necessary.
  • Add other sturdy vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
