Begin the recipe by grabbing a large skillet, cast iron skillet, or braiser and placing it on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Once the pan has heated, add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and allow it to warm up.
Add the 1 pound sliced smoked sausage and cook turning at least once, to lightly brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the sausage from the skillet into a separate bowl. Set aside.
Using the same skillet, with the oil still in the skillet, add the 1 cup chopped onion and 1 cup diced green bell pepper. Saute until it begins to soften. Add the 2 cloves minced garlic and allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Adjust the heat to medium and stir in the 1 ½ pounds diced potatoes, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Return the cooked sausage back to the skillet along with the other recipe ingredients and mix well to combine. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary to your preference. Serve warm and enjoy!
