• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 14 ounces smoked sausage (e.g., kielbasa or andouille)
• 1 medium yellow onion

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Add the potato cubes to the skillet and sauté for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

5. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.

6. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat.

7. Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides.

8. Add the onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

9. Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with the sausage and vegetables.

10. Sprinkle the paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat.

11. Cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

12. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

13. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
