Equipment I Used
How to Make It
Preheat the oven
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Prepare the potatoes and onions
Slice the potatoes into even, thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the potatoes with a little oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Layer the sliced onions evenly on top of the potatoes.
Bake the potatoes and onions
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the onions are soft and slightly golden.
Cook the sausage
While the potatoes and onions are baking, heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Stir in the garlic powder, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Once the sausage is fully cooked, set it aside.
Assemble the bake
After the potatoes and onions have baked for 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Evenly spread the cooked sausage mixture over the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Finish baking
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For an extra crispy, golden top, turn the oven to broil and broil for about 2 minutes—just be careful not to overcook!
Serve and enjoy
Once the cheese is perfectly melted and golden, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the bake cool slightly before serving. For a well-rounded meal, pair it with a fresh green salad on the side. Enjoy this Cheesy Italian Sausage Potato Bake as a comforting main dish!
