Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle them with a tablespoon of oil and toss thoroughly to coat. Sprinkle generously with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes while preparing the Brussels sprouts.
Once the potatoes are in the oven, trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss well to coat. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Add the Brussels to the pan with the potatoes. Continue roasting for about 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes and Brussels are lightly browned and tender.
While the potatoes and Brussels sprouts are roasting, cook and crumble the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any grease and discard. Add the roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the sausage. Stir gently to combine.
Sprinkle with parsley and top with the cubes of cheese.
Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F and bake just until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Stir if desired, right before serving.
