Quick answer
How do you make sausage, peppers and potatoes in one pan?
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.
