Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Smoked sausage Can substitute with turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • 2 cups Baby potatoes Any variety can be used; just halve them.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Can substitute with canola oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika adds extra depth.
  • To taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • For garnish Chopped parsley Fresh herbs enhance presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the halved baby potatoes to the skillet.
  4. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Cut the potatoes into even halves to ensure they cook uniformly. For extra crispiness, allow the potatoes to brown without stirring too frequently. Experiment with different spices by adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning for varied flavor. Use a cast-iron skillet for an even better sear and taste.
