Polish Sausage & Potatoes Sheet Pan Supper is the easiest thing in the world to make and yet so incredibly satisfying. It sometimes feels like making a great dinner needs to be difficult or time-consuming, but it’s just not true and this suppertime hero is proving it. It’s so easy it practically makes itself.
I’ve called this a sheet pan supper because for me, just this tray of food alongside some really good bread is more than good enough for dinner. If I’m motivated, some Chilli Garlic Green Beans on the plate work beautifully, but the only side dish I really need here is bread – specifically sliced baguette if I have a choice, but anything will do. The juices coming off these little sausage coins need mopping up, the almost melting flesh of the roasted lemon requires a vessel and not spreading roasted garlic onto a piece of bread like a savoury jam is almost a crime in my book. There’s so much going on here with very little effort – simplicity at its finest.
Polish sausage is something I have easy access to because I live near a Polish grocery store, but it’s probably easier to find than you might think if you’re not used to buying it. I typically buy the one called Podwawelska, but whatever Kielbasa you love or can find will work here. If you’re in America, the Hillshire Farms Kielbasa or something similar will be just perfect!
As for the potatoes, you can choose whatever you like. I prefer the miniature potatoes here because I don’t have to cut them or do anything and they’ll cook fast enough, even over-cooking slightly until they’re bronzed and blistered on the outside, shrinking away from their skins and becoming sweeter on the inside. But if you wanted to chop regular potatoes or whatever you have into bite-size cubes here, that would absolutely work as would buying the bigger new potatoes and simply halving them all. Let’s get started!
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 250g Polish Sausage (Kielbasa), sliced
- 500g miniature potatoes or new potatoes, large ones cut in half
- 2 lemons, sliced with ends discarded
- Whole bulb of garlic, cloves separated, but left unpeeled
- Olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180° Fan / 400°F.
- Load up a large baking tray or sheet pan with the sausage slices, potatoes and the unpeeled cloves of garlic. Layer the lemon slices on top so as the flesh roasts it will flavour the sausage and potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil generously over everything.
- Pop the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 40 to 45 minutes or until the potatoes are blistering and cooked through and the sausage is crisp and golden. Check on it once halfway through the cooking time and push things around the tray if they need it to cook evenly. Serve hot.
