Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
See the complete list of ingredients on the recipe card below.
- Potatoes: My go-to potatoes for this recipe are Yukon Gold, but you can use red potatoes.
- Sausage: Use a good-quality chicken sausage without nitrates or added preservatives.
- Bell peppers: Use any colored bell peppers. I love using an assortment for that beautiful color contrast and flavor.
- Cajun seasoning: I like a sprinkling of Cajun seasoning, which I find fairly mild, but you might prefer a little rosemary and garlic powder.
How To Cook Sausage and Potatoes
This is a summary version; for the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please refer to the recipe card below.
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the olive oil. Add the potatoes and cook for about 20 minutes.
- Then add the onion and cook until the onions are tender and the potatoes are lightly browned.
- Add the sausage and bell peppers. Cook until the sausages are lightly browned and the vegetables are tender.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, cooking for an additional one minute. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
Preparation Tips For Success
- If the potatoes are taking a while to tenderize, cover the skillet with a loose piece of aluminum foil to speed up the cooking process.
- Cook the potatoes in the skillet until they are almost fork-tender, as it does not take long to cook the onions and peppers and brown the sausage.
- Season to taste with plenty of salt and pepper or whatever seasonings and spices you desire.
