Potato and Sausage Bake for One
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.

🧾 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 oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a small baking dish’s bottom with a little olive oil. You can also use a cooking spray to keep 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.
