Pan-Roasted Sausage and Potatoes Skillet

How to make Pan-Roasted Sausage and Potatoes Skillet

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and beginning to soften.

Step 2: Add the chopped onions and red bell pepper (if using). Continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to caramelize.

Step 3: Stir in the sliced sausage. Cook everything together for another 7-10 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown and the vegetables to become tender.

Step 4: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

• Swap smoked sausage with turkey sausage, chorizo, or kielbasa for a different flavor profile.
• Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a slightly sweet twist.
• Add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or green beans.
• For a spicy kick, sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes or use spicy sausage.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through or microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between. Avoid overcooking to keep the potatoes from becoming mushy.
