How to Make Sausage Potato Skillet

- Cook the Potatoes – Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until they crisp up, stirring occasionally. Remove to a bowl.
- Brown the Sausage – In the same skillet, add the smoked sausage and cook until browned. Remove to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Sauté the Vegetables – Add the red onion and bell peppers to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking until vegetables are softened.

Serve with buttery cornbread, garlic bread or biscuits. If you like it spicy, serve with hot sauce or sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
