This pan meal with sausage and potatoes is super speedy and big on flavor. Think crisped-up potatoes with smoky bites of sausage and veggies that are kind of caramelized. You only need a few things and you’ll get dinner on the table fast, in under half an hour. Smoked paprika really kicks up the smoky taste. A bit of fresh parsley at the end makes it all pop.

INGREDIENTS
  • Olive oil: 2 tbsp for frying the sausage and potatoes
  • Red bell pepper: 1, chopped for a sweet crunch and color
  • Smoked sausage: 1 lb sliced up, brings a savory, smoky taste
  • Russet potatoes: 4 medium, diced for the crispy bites
  • Onion: 1 small, chopped for a little sweetness
  • Fresh parsley: 2 tbsp, chopped for a fresh finish at the end
  • Salt and pepper: Use as much as you like to season
  • Garlic powder: ½ tsp to boost that garlicky punch
  • Garlic cloves: 2, minced for extra aroma
  • Smoked paprika: 1 tsp for that smoky seasoning
  • Optional toppings: Dash on hot sauce, or scatter shredded cheddar if you’re feeling it
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Chop everything up first—it’ll make things smoother later. Pour 1 tbsp oil into your big pan over medium heat. Toss in the potato chunks, then sprinkle them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let the spuds get brown and crispy, tossing them now and then, takes about 10 or 12 minutes. Take the potatoes out and set them aside.
Step 2:
Add your other spoonful of oil to the pan. Throw in the sausage rounds—let them brown for a few minutes, around 3 to 4. Now toss in onion, diced bell pepper, and garlic. Keep it going for another 5 to 7 minutes ’til everything’s soft and getting a little color.
Step 3:
Put the potatoes back in with the sausage and veggies. Mix it all up and let it heat through for 2 or 3 minutes.
Step 4:
Sprinkle over that parsley. Want extra zing? Add cheddar on top or a drizzle of hot sauce. Serve while it’s piping hot.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • If you’ve got some, grab crusty bread or a fresh salad on the side. Toss leftovers in a lidded container, chill for up to 3 days, and just heat them up again in the microwave or on the stove.
  • Craving more heat? Throw in your go-to hot sauce or shake in some red pepper flakes before serving.
Helpful Notes
  • Don’t crowd those potatoes—spread them in a single layer so they crisp instead of steam. Flip them every now and then for even browning.
  • Looking for something lighter? Try turkey sausage or swap regular potatoes for sweet ones if you’re after a little different taste.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef Bobby Flay says picking sausage that’s actually been smoked over real wood gives an even bigger flavor punch in skillet dishes like this.

Ingredients

01 1 pound of smoked sausage, cut into slices.
02 4 russet potatoes, chopped into cubes.
03 1 small onion, diced into small pieces.
04 1 red bell pepper, diced.
05 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped.
06 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
07 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
08 Half a teaspoon of garlic powder.
09 Salt and pepper as needed.
10 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish).
11 Optional: a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or a drizzle of hot sauce when serving.

Steps

Step 01

Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil into a big skillet and warm it over medium heat. Toss in the chopped potatoes, then season them with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir every so often and let them cook for about 10-12 minutes until they're golden and soft. Take them out and put them to the side.

Step 02

Using the same pan, pour in the rest of the olive oil and heat it up. Cook the sausage slices for 3-4 minutes until browned. Add in the onion, red pepper, and garlic, and let them cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften and caramelize just a bit.

Step 03

Throw the cooked potatoes back into the skillet and mix everything together. Let it cook for another couple of minutes, just until everything heats through nicely.

Step 04

Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley, then serve warm. Feel free to add a little cheese on top or splash on some hot sauce if you like.
