Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pork sausage (or Italian sausage, depending on your preference)
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add the pork sausage (or Italian sausage) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once the sausage is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the butter and diced potatoes. Cook the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden brown. If necessary, add a splash of water or broth to help soften them faster.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour the heavy cream (or milk) into the skillet, and add the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to coat the potatoes evenly with the cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the potatoes are fully cooked through.
  5. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use a good-quality sausage: For the best flavor, use a high-quality pork sausage or Italian sausage. You can experiment with different types of sausage, like spicy or mild, to suit your taste.
  • Add veggies: If you like your meals to be more veggie-packed, you can add in bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Don’t overcook the potatoes: Keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent them from becoming too soft. They should be tender but not mushy.
