Steps
To prepare the sausage with oven-baked potatoes recipe, start by peeling and
cutting the potatoes into cubes, more or less the same size.

Transfer sage into a mixer,
rosemary needles,
chop everything and set aside.
After 30 minutes, drain the potatoes and transfer them to a baking tray,
sprinkle with the chopped herbs and rosemary,
adjust salt and pepper,
and finally drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
Mix the potatoes to infuse with the herbs,
add the sausage and
bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve the sausage with potatoes still hot.
Oven-baked sausages and potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for 1–2 days, sealed in an airtight container and completely cooled.
To enjoy them at their best, it is recommended to reheat them in the oven at 356°F for a few minutes, to restore the crispness of the potatoes and prevent them from becoming soft.
They can also be frozen, preferably already cooked, for up to 1 month. When ready to eat, thaw them in the refrigerator and reheat directly in the oven.
