Protein
- 2 cups smoked sausage, sliced
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat Oil: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for frying the potatoes and other ingredients.
- Fry Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they turn golden brown, which takes about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Add Sausage and Seasoning: Incorporate the sliced smoked sausage and sprinkle garlic powder over the mixture. Stir everything well to combine the flavors.

- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the fried potatoes, onions, peppers, and smoked sausage hot for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use medium-sized potatoes for even cooking and a good texture.
- Adjust seasoning according to your preference; smoked sausage adds saltiness so taste before adding extra salt.
- Feel free to substitute smoked sausage with other smoked meats or plant-based sausage for dietary variations.
- For extra crispiness, cook potatoes a bit longer or use a cast-iron skillet.
- This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
