Here’s a simple and hearty recipe for Sausage, Peppers, and Potatoes—a classic comfort-food skillet dish that’s easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
- 1 lb (450 g) Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, links or sliced)
- 3–4 medium potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1–2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat, fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes:
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and slightly tender.
- Cook the sausage:
- Push potatoes to one side of the skillet and add sausage slices or whole links.
- Cook 5–7 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked through.
- Add vegetables:
- Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic.
- Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
- Combine and serve:
- Mix everything together in the skillet. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.
💡 Tips:
- For softer potatoes, parboil them 5 minutes before cooking in the skillet.
- Swap sausage for chicken sausage or smoked sausage for a different flavor.
- You can finish under the broiler for 2–3 minutes to get extra crispy edges.
If you want, I can also give a slow-cooker version that lets everything cook together all day for maximum tenderness and flavor.
Do you want me to provide that version?
