Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 pound pork sausage, casings removed
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Layered Potato and Sausage Bake

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the pork sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, onion, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft.
3. In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the potato slices evenly across the bottom. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Spread half of the sausage mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the sliced bell peppers. Repeat with the remaining potato slices, sausage mixture, and bell peppers, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.
5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the potatoes are sliced evenly to promote uniform cooking.
• Feel free to mix and match bell pepper colors for a more vibrant dish.
• If you prefer a bit of heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture.
• Let the dish sit for a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.

Easy Variations

• Swap the pork sausage for turkey sausage or a plant-based alternative for a lighter version.
• Add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Incorporate different cheeses such as gouda or pepper jack for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls to soak up the delicious juices
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for a fresh side
• A glass of red wine to complement the savory flavors
