A simple and satisfying meal combining crispy seasoned fries with pan-seared sausages, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 smoked sausage links (or kielbasa-style sausages)
  • 1 1/2 lb russet potatoes, cut into thick fries
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Toss the potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  3. Spread fries on a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  4. While fries bake, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook, turning often, until browned and heated through, about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Plate sausages with fries and sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For crispier fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
