- Method: stovetop
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 links chicken sausage (12 ounces) cut in 1/2 inch wide rounds
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1 green pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt & pepper
- Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Boil potatoes in large pot of water for 15 minutes. Run under cold water or place in refrigerator to chill. Dice potatoes after chilled.
- In large skillet over medium heat add olive oil. Add potatoes and cook until lightly browned on edges ;approximately 15 minutes. Add sausage, onion, red pepper and green pepper. Cook until the sausages are browned and vegetables are tender. Add garlic and cook for additional 90 seconds.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning.
Notes
- Boil the potatoes until just starting to become fork tender. Larger red potatoes will take longer than smaller ones.
- Try a good quality chicken sausage without nitrates and added preservatives.
- Plan ahead and boil the potatoes. That way they will have plenty of time to chill and they will dice more easily.
- In a hurry? Skip the boiling and just cut your potato chunks a little smaller and add a little more skillet cooking time. You can also top 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 completely fork tender as it does not take long to brown the sausage and cook the onions and peppers.
- Season to taste with plenty of salt and pepper. I like a sprinkling of Cajun seasoning which I find fairly mild but you might prefer a little rosemary and garlic powder.
