This seems like one of those “breakfast-for-dinner” recipes, so the first time that I made it, I was pretty sure my husband was going to side-eye it. Nope! He loved it! It has meat. It has potatoes. It has veggies. It’s pretty much a complete meal all in one pot. And the ingredients are common and most quite inexpensive! If you got really fancy with it, it reminds me of a potato casserole that you can get from one of those fancy brunch places, just without all the fancy stuff.
Like the original author, I found it best to make this in two different pans (I, too, like her, use my cast iron skillets), but you can make it in one if desired.
Smoked Sausage and Potato Hash
Ingredients
- 1 package of smoked sausage, cut into 1/4 inch rounds
- 1 1/2 - 2 bell peppers, diced (any color or a mixture - I love red bell pepper!)
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In skillet #1: heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, around 8-10 minutes, stirring a few times to ensure even browning.
- In skillet #2: brown the sliced sausage for around 5 minutes in 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium high heat. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. Add the peppers and onions to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
- Mix everything together. Top with cheese, if using, and let it melt for a bit. Serve nice and hot!
