Ingredients
6sweet Italian sausagescould also use hot sausages or a mix
3poundssmall red potatoeswashed but not peeled or chopped
2medium onionslarge chopped
1tspdried thyme
2green appleschopped but not peeled
Olive oilsalt, pepper
Spicy mustard for servingOptional, but not according to my 5-year-old!
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Toss the chopped onions and whole potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You won't need much, just a tablespoon or so. They should be mostly coated but not drenched. I do this directly in a large baking pan to save a dish.
Sprinkle with thyme, salt & pepper. Lay the sausages directly on the top of the bed of potatoes and place them in the oven for 40 minutes.
Toss the chopped apples with just a smidge more of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and set aside.
When the buzzer beeps, turn the sausages over to brown on their other side and sprinkle the apples around them. Be sure to give the potatoes and onions a gentle toss to prevent burning on the bottoms. Bake for 10 more minutes.
