Instructions
PREP:
- Slice sausage about 1/2″ thick.
- Dice the potatoes, onions and peppers into 1/2″ cubes. I left the peel on the potato but peel if you prefer.
- Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage slices in a mostly single layer.
- Cook 2-3 minutes to golden on the first side then flip them over and cook another 2 minutes until browned then remove from the skillet to a plate.
- Add the potatoes, onions, peppers and butter to the skillet with the sausage drippings.
- Sprinkle on the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper and a good pinch of salt. Cook 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and fork tender stirring occasionally. NOTE: If your potatoes are golden but not yet tender, splash in a little water and continue cooking.
- Reduce heat to low add OPTIONAL: kale or spinach and cook 1-2 minutes until it's wilted in.
- Return the sausage to the skillet then cook 2 minutes to reheat the sausage and let the flavors come together.
Notes
I used smoked kielbasa in this recipe but any sausage will work including chicken sausage or any fresh sausage.
