How to Make Sausage and Potato Bake
Follow these steps to create a delicious, comforting meal:
Step 1: Brown the Sausage
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 5-10 minutes). Once browned, transfer the sausage to a large baking dish.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
In the same skillet, add 1/4 cup of olive oil and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown (about 10 minutes). Once browned, transfer the potatoes to the baking dish with the sausage.
Step 3: Saut the Peppers and Onions
In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften (about 5 minutes). Add the cooked vegetables to the baking dish.
Step 4: Season and Add Liquids
Pour the white wine and chicken stock over the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir to combine everything.
Step 5: Bake the Dish
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until everything is hot and bubbling (about 20-25 minutes). Serve immediately and enjoy!
What to Serve With Sausage and Potato Bake

- "I found this recipe a few years ago, and it's marvelous! I've made it several times, occasionally making small changes depending on what I have on hand. It doesn't matter, it's always delicious. I personally never add the wine, I use additional stock, still delicious!" Barbs favorites.
- "Great, easy recipe. Would work with any kind of sausage. I used a spicy smoked Polish sausage. After browning the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables, I had a lot of caramelized brown goodness left in the bottom of my skillet. I deglazed the pan with wine and chicken stock before pouring the liquid over the ingredients in the baking dish." Bruce.
- "I loved it. It was so flavorful and easy to make. Even my 5-year-old niece, who is a notoriously picky eater, ate it up quickly. The only change I made was subbing the wine for more chicken broth because I didn't have any wine. I don't know if that made a big difference to the taste, but it was excellent as is." Samantha Cobb.
