My favorite simple sausage and potato bake is pure comfort food perfection. Mix it up with an apple chicken sausage, spicy Italian, smoked turkey sausage, or Cajun flavors. Just chop, mix, and bake!

🧾 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.
