I have to say I adore roasting now. A complete meal on one tray is so easy and so delicious! Roasted Sheet Pan Potatoes and Sausage is an entire meal on its’ own or great with a side salad too.
Lots of veggies and nutrition especially from Little Potato Company’s amazing Something Blue Creamer Potatoes. Little potatoes provide a side of potassium, iron, fiber, and are gluten-free too but only have 90 calories per serving.
Disclosure: I was compensated for this post. All opinions and experiences are my own.
The Something Blue little potato has more of an exotic flavor, they were originally bred in Chile by a father and son team.
Look at all the magnificent colour they provide. Just gorgeous! They have a beautiful contrast – yellow flesh with purple streaks and blue skin.
They are perfect for roasting or barbecuing. This month we have a giveaway for you for one month supply of little potatoes. Come on down to the end of the post to enter!!
As you can see even with roasting Something Blue little potatoes have great colour retention giving your meal such a fantastic look.
With asparagus in season in the spring this dish is perfect for this time of year. A quick slice up of the veggies and sausage with a toss in some olive oil and seasonings this meal takes so little effort but the taste is all thereafter roasting!!
I love sheet pan dinners as they are so easy!!
Look at the glorious colour of these special potatoes. Your family will be excited to eat and enjoy them too. You will want to use these pretty blue potatoes all year round. Think about how gorgeous a potato salad would be!!
A fast chop and pop into the oven. You can then sit back and relax and chat about your day with your family and know that a gorgeous meal awaits you in 30 min.
You can easily change up the ingredients in this recipe to other veggies and protein, just keep the potatoes as they are a great hearty choice and scrumptious with roasting.
I also loved the Ukrainian sausage that we used. A great treat and something different from the usual beef or chicken we use.

Oh, do I remember when my father started planting purple potatoes back in the 1990s. That is the early 1990s. Dad had heard of them and looked high and low to get some seed potatoes. He finally got his hands on two varieties: one was purple all the way through even after they were cooked and the other just had purple skins after being cooked. Mom brought her famous potato salad to the Himes family reunion that year and no one but us would eat it because she used early purple potatoes that stayed purple! It was nearly Christmas when one of the cousins called us and demanded to know if Dad had grown those purple potatoes! The only reason she thought to ask was because a friend in NYC had sent her a bag of red, white & blue fingerlings she had found in a gourmet food market. Within five years backyard gardens all over the county had at least a couple of hills of ‘colored’ potatoes. The really funny part of it? As a family we all thought the purple potatoes tasted better. And I still smile when I think of all the jars of canned baby potatoes my mom and I put up that used a mix of small potatoes of all kinds. They were basicly whole potatoes under an inch–the ones we knew from experience would rot quickly. Those small to tiny potatoes warmed in bacon grease were a welcome sight on our winter dinner table.

Looking at the potatoes in the picture reminded me of the first year Dad grew purple potatoes. Yes, fully purple potatoes, long before colored potatoes became all the rage. Absolutely no difference in taste to the white potatoes we normally grew but the seed potatoes were a third the price because no one was buying them. Dad did and we used them for everything that year–including the potato salad we took to the family reunion that year. Mom was glad she hadn’t made the huge bowl the other ladies had been pushing for since no one but Grandma Mortimer, Aunt Ruth, a few of our more adventurous cousins and us ate it. One of Mom’s cousins confessed later that nearly everyone thought something was wrong with the potatoes.

Great story, we have come a long way with the acceptance of our little spuds that is for sure.

I looked at my local Super Walmart and could not find these potatoes. Where can I find them? I live in New Jersey.
