Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb smoked sausage (such as Kielbasa or Andouille), sliced into rounds
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and become tender.
- Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.
- Sauté the Sausage and Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced smoked sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with the sausage and vegetables.
- Add the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat everything with the seasonings.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve:
- Once everything is cooked and the broth has evaporated slightly, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish can be served on its own or paired with a side salad or crusty bread.
Notes
- You can add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or carrots for extra flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or use spicy sausage.
