Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz smoked sausage
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup water or chicken broth
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized quarters.
Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Rinse well and set aside.
Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Peel and dice the yellow onion into small pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced smoked sausage. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the baby potatoes. Season the potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly softened.
Add the diced onions to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the fresh green beans, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Pour 1/4 cup of water or chicken broth into the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the vegetables to steam for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.
Remove the lid and add the cooked smoked sausage back into the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter for added richness. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Smoked Sausage Green Beans Potato Skillet!
