Ingredients

Scale

Meat

1 lb ground pork sausage

Vegetables

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
1 small onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Oils

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

Liquids

1 cup chicken broth or water

Garnish

Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Sausage: 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 to 7 minutes.
Add Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
Add Potatoes and Seasoning: 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.
Cook and Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Adjust and Serve: Once the potatoes are fully cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the dish hot.

Notes

Even Cooking: Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking. You can microwave them for 5 to 7 minutes before adding to the skillet to speed up cooking.
Crispy Potatoes: For crispy potatoes, cook uncovered for the last 5 to 10 minutes instead of covering the skillet.
Flavor Boost: Add crushed red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth to prevent drying out.
