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!

Tips for the smoked sausage recipe with potatoes
- You can pre-cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes, this will quicken cooking time in the skillet and ensure an even golden crust on the potatoes.

Store the smoked sausage and potatoes leftovers in an airtight container placed in the refrigerator for about 5 days. To reheat this easy meal, simply add to a skillet and warm it gently on the stovetop, adding tablespoon weather to loosen the sauce.

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.

It was good. I kinda tweaked mine a little. I added shrimp, forgot the bell pepper. And forget the medium heat, crank up the heat and fry that stuff. Then it will only take 20 minutes. Lol. Enjoy!!!

Outstanding and will make this meal again. I had two helpers chopping and there is no way I could have done this in 20 minutes.

This did take longer than 20 min but it was well worth it, this week be a repeat for sure! Make sure to add the parmesan, it makes a world of difference.

It was a great recipe. I used turkey sausage and it turned out great. It seems like you could get by with only 2/3rds or half of the oil. I'll make this again...

Oh my wow! This was so simple and tasty! Even my kids (8 and 11) gobbled this up with and we’re asking for more almost before we could make it to the table. Really easy. Really good. Big win.

This is a really good, low mess, quick weeknight recipe! We've made it a few times now and always enjoyed it. We have also used regular Idaho potatoes when we didn't have red ones. It is just as good. My only critique is that the potatoes take much longer to cook than the recipe says (regardless of whether you use red or Idaho).

Delicious! I added a little extra chicken broth, covered, and let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes. It really helped to soften the veggies, especially the potatoes.
