Sausage and Potatoes Skillet
Our family's favorite weeknight meal featuring crispy golden potatoes, caramelized sausage and tender bell peppers all cooked in one skillet for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby gold potatoes quartered
- 12 oz chicken apple sausage sliced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes in single layer and cook undisturbed 5 minutes. Continue cooking 12-15 minutes total, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
- Brown the Sausage: Push potatoes to sides. Add oil to center and cook sausage 5-7 minutes until nicely browned, turning occasionally.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in onions, bell peppers and all seasonings. Cook 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Serve: Enjoy hot with suggested sides like fried eggs, crusty bread or fresh salad.
Notes
For crispier potatoes: parboil 5 minutes first or toss with 1 tsp cornstarch before cooking. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat in skillet for best texture.
