Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces smoked sausages (such as hot dogs or kielbasa)
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.
Slice the smoked sausages into 1/2-inch rounds and set aside.
Peel and dice the yellow onion into small chunks.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is sizzling.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and spread them out into a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the onions to the skillet and stir them in. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the sliced smoked sausages, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the sausage is browned and heated through.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the skillet mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the seasoning.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the skillet from heat.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
Serve hot as a stand-alone dish or alongside a green salad or crusty bread.
