Directions

  2. Slice the sausages into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces and set aside.

  4. Add all of the ingredients, except for the sausage to an 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) roasting pan and toss the potatoes and spices until well combined.
  5. Roast for about 20 minutes or just until the potatoes are almost cooked (tossing them a few times).
  6. Stack the potatoes on one side of the pan, then add the sausage slices to the empty side.
  7. Cook the sausage for 5 minutes, then flip the sausage over and cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Mix the potatoes and sausage together and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, tossing twice.
  9. Taste the potatoes and check the seasoning.

Recipe Tips

When slicing the chouriço, cut it into thick slices (about 1/2 inch) to ensure it retains its juiciness during cooking. Thinner slices may dry out and lose flavor.
For crispy potatoes, parboil them in salted water for about 10 minutes before roasting. This softens the insides and helps achieve a crispy exterior when roasted with olive oil and spices.
Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking; ensure the potatoes and chouriço have enough space to roast evenly. If necessary, use two pans or cook in batches to achieve a nice golden-brown color.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute Portuguese chouriço with another type of sausage?

Yes, you can substitute Portuguese chouriço with other types of sausage such as Spanish chorizo, Italian sausage, or even chicken sausage. Just ensure that the replacement sausage has a similar flavor profile to achieve a satisfying result.

How do I store leftovers from this one-pan dinner?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can typically be kept for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

What should I do if my potatoes are not cooking through in the oven?
