Description

A hearty one-pan meal combining smoky sausage, crispy golden potatoes, and colorful sautéed vegetables. Quick to prepare and easy to clean up, it's perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Parboil the potatoes in salted water for about 8–10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage slices until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté diced onion and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add sliced bell pepper and cook for another 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add the parboiled potatoes along with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and golden.
  5. Return the sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes. Add spinach if using and let it wilt.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add extra vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for variety.
  • Use spicy sausage or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Top with shredded cheese for a richer dish.
  • Substitute spinach with kale or arugula if desired.
  • Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness of potatoes.
