The combination of garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil infuses the ingredients with robust flavors while cooking them to perfection on the stovetop.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb sausage links (Italian or smoked)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers (sliced, any color)
  • 1 medium zucchini (sliced)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (halved)

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Slice sausage links into thick rounds to ensure even cooking and ease of eating.
  2. Heat Oil: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it’s hot and ready for cooking.
  3. Cook Sausage: Add the sliced sausages to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Toss in the bell peppers and zucchini, stirring occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and release their natural flavors.
  5. Add Potatoes and Season: Add the halved baby potatoes along with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly coat all ingredients with the seasonings and oil.
  6. Simmer Covered: Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for an additional 15 minutes. This allows the potatoes to become tender while melding the flavors together.

Notes

  • Use smoked or Italian sausage according to your preferred flavor profile.
  • To speed up cooking time, parboil baby potatoes for 5 minutes before adding to the skillet.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like mushrooms or onions.
  • Check potatoes with a fork to confirm tenderness before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave for up to 3 days.
