Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F, placing a large baking sheet inside to heat up.
  2. Boil the potatoes in a pot of water for about 5 minutes, just until they’re halfway cooked, and then drain.
  3. In a bowl, mix the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and dry herbs to create a flavorful veggie mixture.
  4. Toss the partially cooked potatoes in the bowl with the sausage, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  5. Spread the entire mixture evenly on the hot baking sheet in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, giving it a stir halfway through, until everything is golden and crispy.
  2. For an extra crunchy finish, broil for a minute or two if you wish!
  3. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

To save time, prepare your vegetables and sausage ahead of time. You can mix them and store them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before cooking. Always use a hot baking sheet! It helps in achieving the crispy texture that is the hallmark of this dish.
