Smoked Sausage and Potato Skillet

 

Ingredients

• 14 oz 400 g smoked sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
• 1½ lbs 680 g Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into small cubes
• 1 medium yellow onion chopped
• 1 red bell pepper sliced
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions

• Prepare the potatoes
• Dice potatoes into small, even cubes (about ½ inch) so they cook quickly and evenly.
• Brown the sausage
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Cook the potatoes
• In the same skillet, add olive oil and diced potatoes. Spread them in an even layer. Cook for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fork-tender.
• Add vegetables
• Stir in onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Season and combine
• Return the sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 3–5 minutes so flavors meld.
• Garnish and serve
• Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot straight from the skillet.
