Sheet Pan Potatoes And Sausages is a winner at mealtime! One of the best, easiest ways to cook is by using a sheet pan, plus this method of cooking tends to be simple yet brings out tremendous flavors from the ingredients used.
This super easy dish makes a great hearty meal served with Tomato, Cucumber, Salad, and Green Chili Cheese Cornbread.
At least once a week, I prepare some sort of protein along with veggies using sheet pan cooking. I hit the grocery store aisle to find out what’s on sale, then build my meal around it. Roasting chicken or fish along with green beans or broccoli has become one of my family’s favorites, along with my brats and potatoes.
What’s fun about cooking like this is that you can experiment with new flavors. Mix in a new veggie, a handful of flavorful herbs, or a spice that you’ve never cooked with before. So, go for it, friends! Sheet pan cooking is easy cooking, delicious eating, and super easy clean-up.
Ingredients Needed For This Recipe
- Beef Brats or other sausage you prefer.
- Sweet Potatoes
- Yellow Potatoes
- Red Onion
- Olive Oil
- Italian Seasoning
- Salt
- Parsley
Sheet Pan Cooking Benefits
- Easy prep and super easy clean-up.
- Extra flavorful dishes due to roasting – cooking with heat from both above and below.

What Size Pan Is Best For Sheet Pan Cooking?
For this recipe, I use an 18×13 metal sheet pan. It has an edge around it with larger edges on the ends as handles. Different sizes of sheet pan can be used depending on how many ingredients you are adding to the pan.
Can Different Kinds Of Sausages Be Used?
Absolutely! There are so many tasty kinds of sausages that you can use in this recipe. Here are a few types to try:
- Kielbasa – is a Polish sausage, is a smoked sausage made from pork and/or beef. It can be flavored with garlic and spices.
- Bratwurst – which I used in this recipe- a German sausage made from pork and veal, sometimes beef. They have a smooth texture that reminds me more of a hot dog. The flavor is more subtle than most other sausages.
- Italian – Italian sausage is primarily seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and fennel seed. There are also hot Italian sausage if you like a spicy kick.
How Long Does It Take To Cook Sheet Pan Brats And Potatoes?
This one-pan meal takes about 30 minutes to make. Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees, chop the potatoes and onions, toss them in the olive oil and seasonings, then place everything on the sheet pan. Dinner will be ready in no time!
What To Serve With Brats And Potatoes
All you need to round out this scrumptious one-pan meal is a great salad and maybe some crusty bread. Here’s a few of my favorites:
- Tomato Cucumber Salad
- Simple Caprese Salad
- Avocado Tomato Salad
- Easy Garlic Knots
- Beer Bread

Looks like you’re using smoked sausages. How would you adjust for raw?

Hey there Tony!
Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, it makes for a wonderful weeknight meal! If you’re using uncooked sausages instead of smoked sausages, you honestly don’t have to adjust the recipe that much. This one-pan meal goes into a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, and most raw sausages will cook through in that timeframe, if after 20 minutes they still aren’t fully cooked then you can leave it in the oven for another 5-10 minutes. I hope this helps, let me know how everything turns out, I really hope you enjoy!
