1 lb smoked sausage, such as turkey, cut into chunks

6 baby red potatoes, halved
6 baby golden potatoes, halved
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ tsp. fine sea salt
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp. ground smoked paprika
1 tsp. ground Cajun spice
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C/180°C fan, Gas Mark 6).
Line a large baking sheet with tin foil, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Cut your sausage into large chunks. Chop the onions into large chunks. Wash and pat dry the potatoes. Cut the baby potatoes in half.
In a large bowl add the sausage, onions, and baby potatoes. Top with olive oil, toss to coat.
In a small bowl add all spices and stir to combine.
Sprinkle the sausage mixture with the seasoning mixture. Toss to coat.
Pour this out onto the sheet pan and spread out the sausage and potatoes evenly. Cook for 55 minutes.
Test the potato by inserting a fork in it to verify its tender and fully cooked. If it's not done, cook for another 5 minutes and check again.
