Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 12 ounces smoked sausage or Italian sausage links
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Slice the smoked sausage or Italian sausage links into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Cut the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin slices.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the sausage slices. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
Add the sliced peppers and onions to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the sausage and vegetables.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve warm.
