Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 pound asparagus
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. If they are large, quarter them. Set aside.
Wash the asparagus, trim the woody ends, and cut into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside for later use.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved potatoes, cut side down, and cook for 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, add the minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the seasoning.
Add the asparagus to the skillet with the potatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the potatoes and asparagus. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
