Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy, about 1 lb)
- 4 medium russet potatoes, washed and chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, sliced into thin strips
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more as needed)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing and chopping the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, and slicing the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside to streamline the cooking process.
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the sausage links, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove them from the pan, let cool briefly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Roast the Potatoes: Using the same skillet, add another splash of olive oil if needed. Toss in the potatoes seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden, crispy exterior and become tender inside, about 15-20 minutes.
- Sauté Peppers and Onions: Add the peppers, onions, and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir and cook until the vegetables soften and slightly caramelize, about 7-10 minutes, letting their natural sweetness emerge beautifully.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the sliced sausage to the skillet and toss everything together for another few minutes to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed, then serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Use a heavy skillet, like cast iron, for best heat retention and crispiness.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook potatoes in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
- Let sausage rest briefly after cooking before slicing to retain juices.
- Season potatoes and vegetables gradually to build depth of flavor.
