Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 12 ounces smoked sausage or kielbasa
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 medium bell peppers (any color)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. No need to peel unless desired.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the diced potatoes. Spread them out into an even layer and let them cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes to develop a crispy crust.
Stir the potatoes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet and cook the sausage over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage and set it aside with the potatoes.
Dice the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes and sausage to the skillet. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss everything to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Potatoes and Sausage Skillet Fry.
