Frequently Asked Questions
Does it matter what kind of sausage I use?
No, you can use just about any kind of sausage for this dish. Turkey kielbasa is a great choice and is usually very easy to find at most grocery stores, but if you prefer something more traditional, like pork kielbasa or bratwurst, that’s also fine. Just be sure to pay attention to the cooking instructions for whichever type of sausage you choose. This will ensure that the dish turns out perfectly every time.
Can I use different types of potatoes?
Yes, you can use any type of potato in this recipe. However, it’s best to stick with sweeter varieties like Yukon golds or yellow potatoes, as these will be more tender when cooked.
How do I know when the kielbasa and potatoes are done cooking?
The best way to check for doneness is by using a fork or knife to pierce one of the larger pieces of potato. The potato should be soft on the inside and ideally have some nice golden brown edges. If the potatoes are not yet fork-tender, continue cooking until they are.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! In fact, it’s often recommended to make kielbasa and potatoes in advance before baking them, as this will give all of the flavors a chance to come together and develop even more.
Simply cook the kielbasa and potatoes according to the instructions, then let them cool down before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer until you’re ready to bake. Just be sure to thaw them fully before putting them in the oven.
