Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced kielbasa works great
- 1.25 lb russet potatoes, diced small
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 cup sliced bell pepper any color
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.75 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat
- 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add half the oil.
- Brown the sliced sausage until caramelized, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining oil. Sauté onion and bell pepper until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in potatoes. Sprinkle paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and flakes. Toss to coat.
- Pour in broth. Cover and steam, stirring once, 6–8 minutes until potatoes are nearly tender.
- Uncover. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return sausage to the skillet. Cook, stirring, 3–4 minutes to heat through and crisp edges.
- Finish with parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
Notes
Swap Cajun seasoning for the Italian blend and paprika for a spicier kick. Red or baby gold potatoes also work well. For a full meal, top with a fried egg or serve with a simple green salad. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days; reheat in a skillet to re-crisp.
