Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound smoked sausage
- 4 medium potatoes
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1 onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Liquid:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large skillet, warming it over medium heat until it shimmers and spreads evenly across the surface.
- Nestle 1 pound of sliced smoked sausage into the hot pan, letting each piece sizzle and develop a rich golden-brown crust for about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Tumble 4 medium potatoes that you’ve diced into uniform chunks and 1 chopped onion into the skillet alongside the sausage.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder across the ingredients, then season with salt and pepper to your taste preference, gently tossing everything to distribute the spices.
- Allow the mixture to cook at medium heat for 15-20 minutes, using a wooden spoon to occasionally stir and prevent sticking, until your potatoes turn fork-tender and develop crispy edges.
- Transfer the fragrant, golden skillet directly to your dining table and serve the hearty mixture piping hot.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from being undercooked or overcooked.
- Fresh smoked sausage works best, but pre-cooked varieties can save time and still deliver great flavor.
- For a healthier twist, substitute sweet potatoes or use less oil when cooking to reduce calories.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or green onions on top for added color and a bright, fresh taste that complements the rich sausage and potatoes.
