2. Parboil potatoes for 8–10 minutes until just barely tender. Drain.

3. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, green beans, sausage, and onion with oil/butter, garlic, and seasonings.

4. Spread everything evenly in a greased casserole dish or sheet pan.

5. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.

6. Uncover and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are golden and sausage is nicely browned.

7. Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.

Cozy Variations

• Creamy version: Stir in 1 can cream of mushroom soup + ½ cup milk before baking

• Cheesy: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella for the last 10 minutes

• Spicy: Use andouille sausage + red pepper flakes

• One-pan shortcut: Skip boiling potatoes, slice them thin, and bake longer (about 60–70 min total)
