Steps
Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into chunks, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking.
Take a large baking dish and add the potatoes. Season them with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and two cloves of garlic. Mix well with your hands or a spoon to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Pierce the sausages with a fork and place them among the potatoes, no additional seasoning needed: the fat will melt during cooking, flavoring everything.
Bake in the oven.
Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C) in static mode. Cook the dish with sausage and potatoes for about 35-40 minutes, gently turning the ingredients halfway through. Check that the potatoes are golden and the sausage is well-cooked.Remove your sausage with baked potatoes from the oven and serve hot, perhaps accompanied by a fresh salad.

Storage, Tips
If there are leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. When you want to enjoy them again, I recommend reheating in the oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 10 minutes, so the potatoes will return crispy and the sausage will still be juicy. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the potatoes mushy.
Tips for Perfect Sausage with Baked Potatoes
• Crispy Potatoes? After cutting them, let them soak in cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch. Then dry them well before seasoning.
• Fancy Variation? Try substituting part of the potatoes with pumpkin, peppers, or red onions, for an even richer mix of flavors.
