Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz smoked sausage
- 24 oz baby potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. If they're larger, quarter them for even cooking.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the halved potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to become tender and develop golden-brown edges.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the garlic and spices to become aromatic.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir everything together. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve the smoked sausage and potatoes hot, either as a hearty main course or as a comforting side dish.
