Here’s a simple and hearty Sausage and Potatoes Skillet recipe — perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner 🥔🌭🍳:
🥘 Sausage and Potatoes Skillet
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) sausage (Italian, smoked, or breakfast sausage), sliced or crumbled
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: paprika, dried herbs, shredded cheese, or fresh parsley
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Sausage
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through.
- Remove sausage from skillet and set aside, leaving some fat for flavor.
2️⃣ Cook the Potatoes
- Add remaining oil if needed.
- Sauté diced potatoes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender (10–15 minutes).
- Add onions and bell peppers halfway through cooking.
3️⃣ Add Garlic & Combine
- Stir in garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return sausage to the skillet and mix everything together.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, or herbs.
4️⃣ Optional Cheese Finish
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, cover for 1–2 minutes to melt.
5️⃣ Serve
- Serve hot straight from the skillet.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
🌟 Tips
- Crispier potatoes: Parboil diced potatoes 5 minutes before sautéing.
- One-pan meal: Add spinach, mushrooms, or diced tomatoes for extra veggies.
- Meal prep: Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat in a skillet or oven.
If you want, I can also give a slow cooker or sheet pan version that cooks the sausage and potatoes together with minimal stirring.
