Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 4–5 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces and dicing the potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking. Chop the onion finely and have your shredded cheese ready.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes and chopped onion. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, approximately 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Return the cooked smoked sausage to the skillet with the potatoes. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the skillet with a lid or foil to let the cheese melt thoroughly, about 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are diced into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- You can substitute smoked sausage with chicken, turkey, or vegetarian sausage.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or additional cheese toppings.
- Use fresh potatoes for best results, diced into small cubes for quick cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
