Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Italian sausage links
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
1. Prep the ingredients: Slice the sausage links into 1-inch pieces. Dice the onion into bite-sized chunks. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Cut the baby potatoes into halves (or quarters if large). Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sausage slices. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the diced onion and sliced bell peppers. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften.
4. Add the halved potatoes to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to lightly brown.
5. Sprinkle the paprika, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes over the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
7. Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook uncovered for 3–5 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sausage to heat through.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
9. Serve the sausage skillet hot and enjoy your simply sensational meal!
