Oven-Roasted Smoked Sausage & Potatoes

Roasting vegetables brings out all of the sweetness and flavor that you never knew were there.  Carrots and tomatoes and especially delicious.  We really liked this recipe, not only for the vegetables and sausage but also for the special flavors from the cheese, paprika and thyme.  Try adding carrots, squash and mushrooms. It's best to bake for the full 40-45 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 (16-ounce) package smoked sausage, sliced
• 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
• 5 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking tray with sides with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Put the sausage slices, onions, and potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Toss together and pour on to the baking tray.

Place into the preheated oven and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring half way through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

Scatter the cheese over top and put back into the oven a few minutes to melt the cheese.
