Description

A hearty and flavorful one-skillet meal with crispy fried potatoes and savory sausage, perfect for a cozy breakfast, brunch, or quick weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 12 oz smoked sausage (such as kielbasa), sliced into rounds
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
  2. Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned.
  3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken sausage or a plant-based alternative for a different twist.
  • The baby potatoes can be swapped for red or russet potatoes if needed.
  • Use a mix of bell pepper colors (red, yellow, green) for added color and flavor.
