Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Parboil them in salted water for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the parboiled potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside.

Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 7

Return the browned sausages to the skillet. Sprinkle in the paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let cook for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
