Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked sausage
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 bell pepper (any color)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions (optional)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small, bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sausage slices and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the potato cubes and spread them out evenly. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over the potato mixture. Stir well to coat the ingredients with the seasoning.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet, mixing everything together. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve warm, straight from the skillet, and enjoy your bold and flavorful Honky Tonk Badonkadonk Skillet Dish!
