Directions
1. To make the smoked sausage and potatoes recipe: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
2. Add the baby potatoes to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Saute until golden and cooked through, around 10-12 minutes, stirring regularly. Once done, transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet with the remaining tablespoon oil, brown the sliced smoked sausage on all sides for around 5 minutes over medium heat.
4. Add garlic, onion, and red bell pepper and season with red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook smoked sausage for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
5. Deglaze the skillet with 1/4 cup stock, stir in the hot sauce, and stir to coat the smoked sausage and veggies.
6. Add the sauteed potatoes back to the skillet and mix everything together to reheat them.
7. Adjust seasoning, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve the smoked sausage and potatoes immediately with parmesan. Enjoy!

I read the other reviews that the potatoes took a while to cook so I cheated and used the steam in bag ones. I steamed them per package instructions and then threw them in the pan to brown them and crisp them up and followed the rest of the recipe as written. Doing it that way, it took about ten minutes. And it was sooooo good. Such an easy but delicious week night dinner.

I made homemade ground and smoked Andouille sausage over the weekend and wanted something easy to test a link in. I ran across this recipe today and thought why not. My version of andouille has spice to it. Following your recipe to the letter, it was simply outstanding! And had a good sweat on the forehead - thus a win! Thanks for posting this recipe. Had a great flavor pop. Will be making again for sure.
