Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz (400 g) smoked sausage or Italian sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1½ lbs (700 g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 bell peppers red, yellow, and orange, sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion cut into wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized bite-sized pieces. Slice the bell peppers and the onion, slice the sausage into rounds, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, bell peppers, onion and garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside, if desired.
  4. Add the seasoned vegetables to the same skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize.
  5. Return the sausage to the skillet, cover, and cook over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. For crispier potatoes, uncover the skillet for the last 5 minutes and increase the heat slightly.
  7. Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and the Parmesan cheese just before serving.
  8. Serve hot with crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
