Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes. Italian, smoked, or pork sausage work well; adjust cooking time based on thickness and adjust seasoning to taste.
How do I know when the potatoes are done?
Potatoes should be fork-tender when pierced, typically 20-25 minutes at standard oven temperature depending on chop size.
Can I prep this ahead?
Chop potatoes and sausage the night before and store separately. Assemble and bake fresh for best texture, or bake fully and reheat covered at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
What can I serve it with?
The recipe includes steamed broccoli on the side. You can also serve with a simple salad or rice.
Can I use frozen potatoes?
Fresh potatoes are recommended for best texture. If using frozen, thaw first and reduce baking time by 5-8 minutes.
