Sheet Pan Italian Sausage and Potatoes Bake – all you need is a sheet pan and a few simple ingredients to make this Italian Sausage and Potatoes Bake! This recipe is delicious, easy, and perfect for busy nights.
Today’s recipe is all about simplicity, which I’m sure a lot of us need and appreciate on busy weeknights. Right now I’m trying to make easy dinner recipes in order to help stave off visits to the nearest drive-thru when my exhaustion takes over in the evenings! Which happens more than I’d probably like to admit.????
Wednesdays are particularly challenging, because I have three different school drop-offs and then pickups for my kids. After school my daughter has ballet, and starting next week my oldest will have soccer practice directly after that!
By the time we get home, I’m absolutely beat and have zero desire to do pretty much anything, especially cooking! And I bet a lot of you feel the same way, and probably have even more crazy schedules than mine!
But even on nights when we aren’t so busy, or on weekends when we have more free time, I don’t always like creating a big mess with lots of dishes to wash. Or preparing a main dish and sides, too. Or just spending a lot of time in the kitchen when I could be doing something more fun, like playing with the kids, or laying on the couch in my pj’s watching Netflix. ????
For all of those reasons, sheet pan dinners like this Italian Sausage and Potatoes Bake are a saving grace. Your veggies and main dish cook altogether, on one pan. I line my sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper to make cleanup even easier.
Plus, if you want to skip out on washing a bowl, mix all of your ingredients together in a large ziploc bag and throw the bag away when you’re done! Easy!

I’ve made this several times in the last month to use up a giant package if smoked mozzarella and artichoke sausage I bought at Costco. I’ve been using tri-color baby potatoes from Trader Joe’s and Aldi. I halve them and cut the baking time down a bit. Thanks for a great easy recipe.
Denise says
Tried this today for noon meal and it was really good! Didn’t have fully cooked sausage, so had to cook mine, which took a little longer, but it was still very tasty and we’ll have it again.
Cathy says
Yum yum yum. So easy and so delicious!!
Nastasia says
Im using this recipe for the first time, i boiled my sausages first while washing and cutting my potatoes. Also made my own Italian dry mix. I hope it comes out amazing. Fingers crossed.
Kady says
I loved this! I want to make it again, but don’t have the Italian dry mix. Are there any substitutes? I have Italian dressing, oils, etc.

This is a great recipe, thank you. I think you should stop suggesting the ziploc bag though, we’re trying to teach people to reduce their footprint on this earth and needlessly using a plastic bag and discarding it is counter productive. I do appreciate your easy, time saving recipes, and especially enjoy teaching them to my children. Thank you.

Could a dry mix package of ranch dressing work as a substitute for the italian?
Ashlyn says
