- 3 lbs russet potatoes (5 potatoes); ½" cubed
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- ½ teaspoon salt +/-, to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper +/-, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine all ingredients except for cheddar cheese in a large mixing bowl.

- Bake for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Top with cheddar cheese and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Notes
- Cut the potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and crispy edges.
- Toss the sausage, potatoes, and onions with oil and seasonings so every piece is coated for maximum flavor.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer in the skillet to prevent steaming and help everything brown evenly.
- Add the cheddar cheese only at the end of baking so it melts perfectly without becoming greasy.
