Directions
1. To make the smoked sausage and potatoes recipe: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. 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. Transfer potatoes to a plate and set aside.
2. In the same skillet with remaining tablespoon oil, brown the sliced smoked sausage on all sides for around 5 minutes over medium heat. 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. Deglaze with 1/4 cup stock, stir in the hot sauce and stir to coat the smoked sausage and veggies.
3. Add the sauteed potatoes back to the skillet and mix everything together to reheat potatoes. Adjust seasoning, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the smoked sausage and potatoes immediately with parmesan. Enjoy!
Note: 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.

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).

I tried it and it was delicious; however, I left at the hot sauce.

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.
