Ingredients:
5 medium-sized potatoes, washed and diced into small cubes for even cooking
1 pound of your preferred sausages (smoked sausage or hearty breakfast sausage recommended), sliced into bite-sized pieces for easy eating
1 large onion, finely chopped, adding sweetness and depth of flavor
Vegetable oil, for frying, ensuring a crispy exterior on the potatoes
1 teaspoon garlic powder, for a hint of garlicky warmth
1 teaspoon paprika (optional), for a subtle smokiness and vibrant color
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste, for seasoning
1/2 cup water, to help steam and soften the potatoes inside
Instructions:
Start the Skillet: In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing.
Brown the Sausages: Add the sliced sausages to the skillet, cooking until they’re nicely browned and aromatic. This step not only cooks the sausages but also infuses the oil with flavor.
Add the Potatoes and Onions: To the skillet, introduce the diced potatoes and chopped onions, stirring to combine with the browned sausages. The onions will begin to soften and caramelize, adding a rich flavor base to the dish.
