Ingredients

1 lb smoked sausage (or substitute with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage)

2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (can be replaced with pre-cooked or frozen potatoes, or sweet potatoes)

2 medium zucchini (or substitute with bell peppers or squash)

1 medium onion (or substitute with carrots or mushrooms)

1 medium red bell pepper

1 tsp garlic powder (or use fresh garlic if preferred)

1 tsp onion powder (omit for a milder flavor)

1 tsp smoked paprika (substitute with regular paprika and a touch of chili powder if needed)

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil (for cooking)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and wait until it shimmers.

Step 2: Add the sliced Yukon Gold potatoes and season them with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown.

Step 3: Push the potatoes to one side of the griddle or skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Place the sliced smoked sausage in the cleared space and brown for about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5: Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding fresh garlic instead of garlic powder.

Swap Yukon Gold potatoes for sweet potatoes to add a hint of sweetness.

If you prefer a spicier dish, sprinkle in some chili flakes or hot sauce while cooking.

Use pre-cooked or frozen potatoes to reduce cooking time.

Vegetarian sausage or tofu can be used as a protein substitute for a meat-free version.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, substitute the smoked sausage with your favorite plant-based sausage or tofu and use vegetable oil. Check that all seasonings are vegan-friendly.

What can I use if I don’t have a Blackstone griddle?

A large skillet or frying pan works perfectly as an alternative. Just make sure it heats evenly over medium-high heat and is large enough to cook everything comfortably.
