Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
2 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh oregano sprigs for garnish
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a rectangular baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
Layer half of the seasoned potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Scatter half of the sliced andouille sausage over the potatoes.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and sausage.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the sausage is browned and slightly charred.
Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs before serving.
