Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them thickly, about 0.5 in/ 1½cm. Place them on the baking sheet. Rub them with the oil, arrange them on ¾ of the baking sheet, and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
2 lbs potatoes + 1 tablespoon vegetable oil + fine sea salt and ground black pepper
Prepare the pumpkin: Slice it into wedges, about 0.7 in/ 1.8 cm (so just a tiny bit thicker than the potatoes). Arrange the wedges on the other side of the baking sheet. Sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon.
1 lb pumpkin + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar + ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Carefully pour the water into the baking sheet, being careful not to wash away the spices or the oil on the vegetables.
1 cup water
Bake the pumpkin and potatoes for 35-40 minutes or until almost done.
Add sausages: In the meantime, slice the sausages into thick slices, about 0.8 in/ 2 cm thick. Add them to the sheet pan on top of the potatoes and continue roasting for another 10 minutes or so until the vegetables are soft and the sausages cooked through.
9 oz smoked sausage
Serve immediately with a green salad.

Pumpkin: I had Hokkaido, but butternut squash or another flavorful sort of pumpkin would be fine as well.
Sausage: You can use any other good-quality smoked sausage from the deli, kielbasa, Andouille sausage, or smoked bratwurst.
