1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
03 -
1 medium onion, diced
04 -

→ Seasonings & Oils
06 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
07 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
08 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
10 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
11 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 -
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop your potatoes in a pot of salted water and cook them for 8-10 minutes until you can easily stick a fork in them. Drain and set aside.
02 -
Heat up a tablespoon of olive oil in your biggest skillet over medium heat. Cook those sausage slices until they're nice and brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Scoop them out and set aside.
03 -
Add your remaining oil to the same pan and throw in the onion and garlic. Let them get fragrant for about 2 minutes, then add your bell pepper and cook another 3-4 minutes.
04 -
Add your parboiled potatoes to the pan along with all your seasonings. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes, giving them a stir now and then, until they're golden and crispy.
05 -
Add your sausage back to the pan and give everything a good toss. If you're using spinach, toss it in now and let it wilt for about 2 minutes.
06 -
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve it up hot. Great with some crusty bread or a side salad!
# Notes:
01 -
Don't skip parboiling the potatoes - it's the secret to getting them perfectly crispy.
02 -
Works great with any type of sausage - try chicken, turkey, or kielbasa for variety.
