Ingredients

• 6 pieces smoked sausages (such as hot dogs or kielbasa)
• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Slice the smoked sausages into 1/2-inch rounds and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and dice the yellow onion into small chunks.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is sizzling.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and spread them out into a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the onions to the skillet and stir them in. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions are softened and fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced smoked sausages, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the sausage is browned and heated through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the skillet mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the seasoning.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot as a stand-alone dish or alongside a green salad or crusty bread.
