Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 14 ounces smoked sausage (sliced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1.5 pounds golden potatoes (cubed)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for 1-2 minutes.
Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the slices are browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cubed golden potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them with the onion and garlic mixture. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, return the sausage to the pan and add the frozen peas. Stir everything together and cook for 3-5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty and satisfying meal!
