Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Main Ingredients

  • 24 ounces small Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 package smoked beef sausage (13 oz), sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, cut into bite-size pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a large sheet pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dressing and Coat Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, dry Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful dressing mixture. Add the cut Yukon gold potatoes to the bowl and toss lightly to ensure each piece is coated evenly.
  3. Bake Potatoes: Transfer the coated potatoes to the prepared sheet pan and spread them out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to begin softening and crisping the potatoes.
  4. Add Sausage and Green Beans: While the potatoes start baking, slice the smoked beef sausage into thick rounds. Add the sausage slices and the cut green beans to the remaining dressing mixture in the bowl, tossing gently to coat them well.
  5. Flip Potatoes and Add Remaining Ingredients: After 5 minutes of baking (when potatoes have cooked partially), remove the sheet pan and flip the potatoes to ensure even browning. Spread the sausage and green beans evenly over the potatoes on the sheet pan, then return everything to the oven.
  6. Finish Baking: Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden, the sausage has developed a nice brown color, and the green beans are bright and tender-crisp.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and scoop servings from the sheet pan. Serve hot for a satisfying, complete meal that’s full of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use red potatoes instead of Yukon gold if preferred; just adjust baking time as needed.
  • If you want a spicier variant, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the dressing mix.
  • For easy cleanup, lining the sheet pan with parchment paper is highly recommended.
  • Make sure to cut the potatoes into similar bite-size pieces for even cooking.
  • This dish can be customized by swapping green beans for other vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers.
