Ingredients

1 lb ground pork sausage
4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup chicken broth or water
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 2: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Step 3: Stir in the diced potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4: Cover the skillet and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Once the potatoes are fully cooked, adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. For faster results, microwave diced potatoes for 5–7 minutes before adding them to the skillet.
For crispy potatoes, cook uncovered during the last 5–10 minutes of cooking to allow moisture to evaporate.
Add crushed red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning for an extra flavor boost.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth to prevent the dish from drying out.

FAQs

Can I use other types of sausage for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute ground pork sausage with chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even a plant-based sausage depending on your preference.
