Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot, casings removed if using links)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish


Instructions

  • Slice sausage into bite-sized rounds. Dice potatoes, slice peppers and onion, and mince garlic.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown sausage for 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, cook potatoes for 10–12 minutes until tender and golden, stirring occasionally.
  • Add peppers and onion, cooking for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  • Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Return sausage to skillet, sprinkle with Italian herbs, and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat, top with Parmesan and parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking potatoes.
  • Fresh herbs add brightness—try rosemary or thyme if available.
  • Leftovers reheat well in a skillet, preserving potato crispiness.
