2. Brown the Sausages
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Toulouse sausages and cook until they are evenly browned on all sides. This step enhances the depth of flavor. Once done, remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
Using the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and slightly caramelized. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the potatoes and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 10 minutes while stirring to ensure even cooking.
4. Season and Combine Everything
Season the vegetable mix with salt, pepper, thyme, and freshly chopped parsley. Return the browned sausages to the skillet, mixing them gently with the vegetables to ensure all the flavors meld together.
5. Bake to Perfection
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer everything into a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. The final touch of roasting ensures a deliciously crispy texture.
6. Serve and Enjoy
This Rustic Sausage, Mushroom, and Potato Bake is best served warm, straight out of the oven. Pair it with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
