Sausage and Potato Skillet Recipe
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 pound sausage (Italian, smoked, or breakfast sausage), sliced or crumbled
- 4 medium potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions
Instructions
- Prep ingredients:
- Dice potatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Slice or crumble sausage.
- Cook potatoes:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
- Cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden and almost tender.
- Cook sausage:
- Push potatoes to one side of the skillet.
- Add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes).
- Add vegetables:
- Stir in onions and bell peppers (and garlic if using fresh).
- Cook 5 minutes more until vegetables are softened.
- Combine and serve:
- Mix everything together, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with parsley or green onions.
- Serve hot straight from the skillet.
Tips for Success
- Crispy potatoes: Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes at a time to get a nice crust.
- Sausage types: Spicy sausage adds a nice kick; smoked sausage adds depth.
- Extra veggies: Mushrooms, zucchini, or tomatoes can be added for more color and flavor.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan sheet pan version that’s even faster and just as tasty.
