Ohhh yes 😎🔥 — hearty, one-pan magic. Here’s a crispy, flavorful sausage and potato skillet recipe you can throw together in 30–40 minutes.
Sausage and Potato Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage (Italian, smoked, or your favorite), sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 lb potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), diced small for faster cooking
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sausage slices, cook until browned on both sides (5–7 min).
- Remove sausage and set aside (we’ll finish with everything together).
2. Cook the Potatoes
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil if needed.
- Add diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika.
- Cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp on edges.
3. Add Veggies
- Toss in onions, bell peppers, garlic.
- Cook 3–5 minutes until softened.
4. Combine
- Return sausage to the skillet.
- Stir everything together and cook 2–3 minutes so flavors meld.
5. Finish & Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Optional: drizzle with a little hot sauce or shredded cheese.
Pro Tips
- Small dice = crispier potatoes.
- Par-boil potatoes 5 min before pan-frying for extra crisp edges.
- Use smoked sausage or kielbasa for extra flavor punch.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day.
If you want, I can make a crispy breakfast-style version with eggs on top, or a cheesy, loaded skillet version next.
