Ingredients
- 1 pound Riverbend Cattle Company Kielbasa Sausage Links, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1½ pounds baby gold or red potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Whole-grain mustard, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and thyme. Spread them on the pan in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the peppers and onion with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Remove the pan from the oven, stir the potatoes, and add the peppers, onion, and sliced kielbasa. Spread everything out so it isn't crowded.
- Roast for another 18 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and fork-tender and the sausage is browned at the edges.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with whole-grain mustard on the side.
Chef's Tips
- Cut the potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Don't crowd the pan. If needed, use two sheet pans so everything roasts instead of steaming.
- Swap in green beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes depending on the season.
- For a sweet-savory version, try Riverbend's Brown Sugar Maple Sausage or mix several flavors from the Variety Sausage Bundle.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on a sheet pan in a 400°F oven or in an air fryer for 5 to 8 minutes to bring back the crispy edges.
