Description
A quick and delicious one-pan meal featuring smoked sausage, baby potatoes, and green beans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, drizzle in the olive oil and add the sliced smoked sausage. Allow the sausage to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it develops a beautiful golden-brown crust and is slightly crispy. After it’s cooked to perfection, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, bring in the halved baby potatoes. Season them with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and sauté the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, until they begin to brown and become tender.
- Once the potatoes are golden and tender, add the fresh green beans. Toss them into the skillet and cover it with a lid. Let the green beans steam for about 5-6 minutes, just enough to achieve that crisp-tender texture.
- Return the sautéed sausage back to the skillet, mixing all ingredients together gently. If desired, add the tablespoon of butter and let it melt into the mix. Finally, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness before serving.
Notes
Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the sausage to avoid sticking. Feel free to adjust the amount of spices according to your family’s taste preferences. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
