Ingredients:
1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into rounds 
4 medium potatoes, diced 
1 tbsp olive oil 
1 onion, chopped 
1 red bell pepper, chopped 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme 
1/2 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chicken broth 
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) 
Let’s Make It Happen:
Cook the Potatoes:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Sausage and Veggies:
In the same skillet, add the smoked sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine and Season:
Return the potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Add paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked and tender.
Optional Cheese Topping:
If you like, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
Serve:
Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, flavorful skillet dish!
Tips for Extra Magic:
Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or green onions for a burst of color and freshness.
Spice it up with a pinch of red pepper flakes or hot sauce if you like some heat!
For extra flavor, you can toss in some sliced mushrooms or spinach for more veggies.
