You walk in the door after a busy day with no clear plan for dinner in mind.

The dogs rush to greet you, and you give everyone some love. [Did you know that dogs get a Happy Hormone rush when they are petted? Their greetings are just a way to get their fix, not some sort of altruistic 'let me lower your blood pressure' reason.]

Hit the kitchen, crank on the oven, and start washing some potatoes. No matter what else will be for dinner, you've got a giant pile of potatoes from the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share so you may as well start with them.

Survey the fridge. Notice that the yellow squash, zucchini and peppers did not get the memo that Fall is nearly here and it's time to make room for the acorn and butternut squashes. Find a package of kielbasa and a bottle of beer and realize that dinner will come together just fine.

Open the bottle, have a healthy sip, grab a knife, and get busy.

Roasted Potatoes with Squash, Peppers and Kielbasa

Ingredients


  • 3 pounds potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
  • olive oil
  • salt (I use kosher)
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 yellow squash, cubed
  • 1 zucchini, cubed
  • 1 to 2 bell peppers, chopped into large bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound kielbasa

Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. In a large bowl toss potatoes with about 1 Tablespoon oil and spread on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving some space between to they can roast, not steam. Sprinkle salt and pepper across the top. 
  3. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. 
  4. In the same bowl toss yellow squash, zucchini, and peppers with another Tablespoon of olive oil and spread on a separate rimmed baking sheet. 
  5. When the timer rings, add kielbasa to the potatoes and place both baking sheets in the oven. Set the timer for 10 minutes. 
  6. When the timer rings, stir the vegetables and flip over the kielbasa. 
  7. Return to oven for another 10 minutes. At this point, check and see if everything is done. The potatoes should be browned and crispy, the squash and peppers should be soft, and the kielbasa should be heated through. You may need another 5 minutes.
  8. Serve.

    I like that you're encouraging us to drink. I also have a boatload of potatoes right now. Thank you farm share and hopefully my own garden at some point. Fingers crossed on that last one.

    1. Meghan,
      Tell me what you need encouragement to do, and I will endeavor to provide sufficient encouragement. Unless it involves that concession stand nacho cheez sauce--that is nasty and I cannot in good conscience encourage anyone to partake.
      Thanks!
