Equipment
- 1 large skillet or braiser
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- 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!

Notes
- Be sure to dice the potatoes into small pieces. This will ensure they cook quickly and evenly. The larger your diced potatoes, the longer they will take to cook.
- You may need to adjust the oil measurement depending on the kind of sausage used. For turkey and chicken sausage, use the 2 tablespoons. For beef or traditional pork sausage, you may only need 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Use a large nonstick skillet, cast iron skillet, or cast iron brasier as shown in the photos. You will need a large skillet to hold all of the ingredients and to be able to stir everything together.
- Depending on the sausage used, you may need to adjust and add more or less salt, ground black pepper, and paprika.
