Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links
- 1.5 pounds Yellow potatoes
- 1 cup Vinegar peppers (pickled peppers, such as cherry or banana peppers)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 Yellow onion (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the potato pieces and season them with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown slightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Arrange the browned sausages back into the skillet over the potatoes.
Add the vinegar peppers, distributing them evenly throughout the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer the dish for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sausages are cooked through.
Remove the cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow any excess liquid to reduce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty Italian Sausage and Potatoes with Vinegar Peppers!
