Sausage, Peppers and Potatoes
Short answer
Use waxy potatoes cut into three-quarter-inch chunks and give them a 15-minute head start at 425°F before the peppers and sausage join them. Total roast time is about 45 minutes. Toss the potatoes in oil separately so they crisp rather than steam.
Which potatoes
Yukon Gold is the best all-rounder: creamy inside, crisp outside, holds its shape.
Red potatoes hold up even better but are less flavorful. Russets fall apart and soak up fat — skip them here.
Cut everything the same size. Uneven chunks give you burnt corners and raw centers on the same pan.
Timing the pan
425°F. Potatoes alone for 15 minutes. Add peppers, onions and whole sausages, roast 25 to 30 more minutes, turning once.
Finish with a splash of red wine vinegar off the heat — it cuts the fat and wakes the whole pan up.
Common questions
- Do you have to parboil the potatoes?
- No, if you give them a 15-minute head start in a hot oven. Parboiling 8 minutes first does make the outside crisper.
- Why are my potatoes soggy?
- Too much moisture and too little space. Dry the cut potatoes with a towel and keep them in a single layer.

Quick answer
How do you cut the acidity in tomato sauce?
Grate half a carrot into the sauce and simmer 20 minutes — its natural sugar balances the acid without tasting sweet. A tablespoon of butter stirred in at the end also rounds it. Use a pinch of sugar if you must, and baking soda only in tiny amounts, since it flattens the flavor.
