Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 1 lb Smoked Sausage (or substitute with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage)
Vegetables
- 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
Spices & Seasonings
- 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
Oils
- 2 tbsp Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Preheat the cooking surface: Preheat a Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3-5 minutes until evenly hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and wait for it to shimmer, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
- Cook the potatoes: Add the sliced Yukon Gold potatoes to the griddle or skillet and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir occasionally and cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Brown the sausage: Push the cooked potatoes to one side of the cooking surface. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the cleared space. Lay down the sliced smoked sausage and brown it for about 5 minutes, allowing it to develop a rich, smoky crust.
- Add vegetables: Add the chopped onion, red bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet or griddle. Stir well to combine with the sausage and potatoes. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp, maintaining their vibrant color and texture.
- Season and finish: Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt or black pepper. Remove the cooking surface from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for a flavorful and fulfilling meal.
