Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.

Notes
Customization is key: swap out the sausage for chicken or mix in roasted veggies for a vegetarian option. For a kick, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
