Fresh spring onions make this effortless sausage and potato sheet-pan supper feel elegant, but you could just as easily use scallions, leeks or nearly any other member of the allium family. The spring onions and potatoes make the perfect bed for roasting: They prop up the sausages so they brown instead of steam, and they absorb the sausage drippings while doing so. A spicy, tangy mustard relish cuts the richness of the sausage and offsets the sweetness of the spring onions. Should you have leftovers, they are excellent tucked between slices of toasted bread smeared with plenty of mayonnaise and more mustard.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine spring onions, potatoes, sauerkraut, garlic and ¼ cup oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange sausages on top and roast until spring onions and potatoes are tender and sausages are heated through, about 30 minutes longer.

  3. Step 3

    While the sausages roast, in a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons parsley, if using, with the mustard, shallot and lemon juice, plus the remaining ¼ cup oil and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Divide sausages and vegetables among plates. Sprinkle with additional parsley, if using, and drizzle with mustard relish to taste.

For those of you who are not fans of sauerkraut, might I suggest shredding some raw cabbage and adding it to the pan? Just make sure it gets covered in the olive oil and it will roast up very well with the other vegetables. I've made this dish, or similar versions, over the years and it goes great with any local ale or lager!

This was a delicious success! Made it while under COVID lockdown, so was limited to what was already in the fridge: leeks and shallots instead of the spring onion and threw in some asparagus that was about to go. What I will say is that I found the mustard sauce to be too acidic when made to recipe (mustard lemon salt onion...). I added a little honey to sweeten it a bit and it was perfect!

I was really intrigued with this recipe’s description until I saw the sauerkraut ingredient— I abhor sauerkraut. Is their a substitute that could work?

This was a really great meal and easy to make. The leftovers actually made a great scramble the next day as well.

The flavors are good, but it was really clunky to eat. I need to figure out something with the scallions because leaving them whole made them extremely difficult and stringy to eat. Next time, I may just cut them into 1-inch pieces. If my partner liked regular onions, I would cut one into chunks and use that. Based on other comments, I used about a pound of sauerkraut (I will use even more next time) and garlic cloves cut into chunks (not thinly sliced). I started with just the sauerkraut, potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper. After 10 minutes, I added the garlic, scallions, 5 hot Italian sausage links, and 5 mild Italian sausage links. After 30 minutes, some potatoes were still not done, so I added another 10 minutes. That did the trick, and I agree with others that the sauce makes this dish. It is delicious!

I forgot to add that I doubled the sauce and am glad I did! I don't think the original amounts would have been enough for us especially since I used more sauerkraut and more sausages (2 lbs, 6 oz) than the recipe called for.

I used 10 ounces of polish sausage and adjusted the other ingredients proportionately. After the 10-minute roast, I added the sausage. After 20 minutes of the 30-minute timing, the sauerkraut and scallions were burned to a crisp. Charred food can be cancer-causing so I only ate the potatoes and sausage. Maybe the author should review the recipe.
