- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme

Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Parboil them in salted water for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Slice the German sausages into 1/2-inch rounds. Dice the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausage slices and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the parboiled potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside.
Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your German Sausage Fry!
