Wash the baby red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Heat the 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. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced red bell pepper, sliced green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the baby red potatoes to the skillet, along with the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes in the seasoning.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are cooked, return the browned sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving and enjoy your Sausage Skillet Dinner!
