Start by washing and chopping your sliced smoked sausage, baby potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Halve or quarter the baby potatoes to ensure they cook evenly. Having all your ingredients ready before you start cooking will make your Sausage and Potatoes Skillet come together smoothly, so take a moment to organize your workspace.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and sizzling.

Toss in the chopped baby potatoes along with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become golden and crispy on the outside.

Once the potatoes are crispy, return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Mix everything well, then add fresh spinach if you opted to include it. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Allow the mixture to meld together for an extra 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to blend all the flavors. Before serving, garnish your delicious Sausage and Potatoes Skillet with freshly chopped parsley.
