Ingredients
  

For the Skillet
  • 1 lb Smoked Sausage Adds savory flavor and protein; substitute with chicken, turkey, or plant-based sausages for variation.
  • 1 lb Baby Potatoes Halve or quarter for even cooking; sweet potatoes can add a sweeter flavor profile.
  • 1 medium Onion Chop finely; shallots can be used for a milder taste, or omit for a lighter dish.
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Diced; any variety works, or switch to zucchini or mushrooms for a twist.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced; use garlic powder if you’re short on time, but expect a milder flavor.
For the Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Imparts a smoky depth; regular paprika can substitute for a milder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Offers a herbaceous note; you may also swap it with dried oregano or thyme.
  • Salt & Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste; kosher salt is great for reducing sodium.
Optional Additions
  • 2 cups Spinach Boosts nutrition and color; kale is a fantastic substitute.
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley Chopped; cilantro can also work beautifully for a different flavor profile.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Sausage and Potatoes Skillet. Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces, then chop the baby potatoes in halves or quarters for even cooking. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced sausage. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the sausage is browned and sizzling.
  3. Once the sausage is browned, stir in the prepared baby potatoes, along with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes.
  4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, mixing it well with the potatoes. If you're using spinach, add it at this stage, and cook everything for 2 more minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the Sausage and Potatoes Skillet sit for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the Skillet for a touch of brightness.
