Smoked Sausage & Potato Skillet

Category: Smoked Sausage

1 1/2 lb (650g) small baby potatoes, quartered
1 onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 package smoked sausages
4 tablespoons olive oil (or butter, or ghee)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon hot sauce of your choice (we used Sriracha)
Salt and fresh cracked pepper
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Grated Parmesan, optional



1. In a large cast iron skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the baby potatoes to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Saute until golden and cooked through, around 10-12 minutes, stirring regularly. Transfer potatoes to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same skillet with remaining tablespoon oil, brown the sliced sausage on all sides for around 5 minutes over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and red bell pepper and season with red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Deglaze with 1/4 cup stock, stir in the hot sauce and stir to coat the sausage and veggies.
3. Add the potatoes back to the skillet and mix everything together to reheat potatoes. Adjust seasoning, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with parmesan. Enjoy!

Note: You can pre-cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes, this will quicken cooking time in the skillet and ensure an even golden crust on the potatoes.
