My favorite easy and delicious potato and sausage bake or casserole is pure comfort food perfection. Mix it up with an apple chicken sausage, turkey sausage, spicy Italian, smoked sausage, or Cajun flavors. Just chop, mix, and bake!
You may enjoy my small batch green bean casserole for two or creamy chicken divan mini casserole or the classic homemade tuna casserole for one or a favorite classic lasagna for one.

Main Ingredients Notes
- Sausage: My go-to for this recipe is the fully-cooked Cajun sausage links. A Chicken Apple, Kielbasa, or Italian sausage all work well.
- Potatoes: Red potatoes, Yukon gold, or a Russet work well in this recipe. I suggest peeling unless you prefer leaving the skin on the potatoes.
- Peppers: You can use orange, red, yellow, or green bell peppers or a mix for a colorful presentation.

How to Make A Sausage and Potato Bake
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350º degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat the bottom of a small baking dish with olive oil. You can also use cooking spray to prevent the potatoes from sticking. Arrange the sliced potatoes evenly in the casserole dish.
Step Two: Arrange the sausage over the potatoes. Arrange the sliced red peppers and onions on top of the sausage.
Step Three: Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and drizzle the remaining olive oil over the peppers and salt.
Step Four: Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes; check after 35 minutes to avoid overcooking. The potatoes should be soft.

I doubt you will have any leftovers, but if you do, store them covered in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, add a little more olive oil and reheat in the microwave.
