Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs red potatoes
- 1 lb red hot sausage (or spicy smoked sausages)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dice the red potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to remove any excess starch.
Slice the red hot sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. Dice the red bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside.
Add the diced red bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender.
Return the sausage to the skillet and stir in the minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat everything in the seasonings.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and fully cooked through.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your spicy and flavorful Red Hot Sausage and Potatoes!
