Sausage and potatoes create a hearty base while the veggie options are endless. You can make this dinner and use up any extra veggies you have on hand. Carrots, onions, peppers, and cabbage are all great options for this skillet dinner.
Potatoes make a variety of excellent recipes. Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy potatoes.
Sausage and Potatoes Stir Fry Recipe:
Brown crunchy fried baby potatoes companion perfectly with onions, sweet peppers and your favorite smoked sausage.
This crispy potato and sausage meal also makes a great breakfast option when paired with eggs and a warm biscuit.
- Smoked Sausage
- Potatoes
- Dry Smoked sweet seasoning
Tips:
- If you are out of fresh onions and garlic, use dehydrated garlic and onion powders in a pinch. But fresh is best for texture and flavor.
- We most often use Smoked Chicken Sausage. Any smoked sausage will work well with this recipe. One of our personal favorites is Aidells Smoked Chicken Apple Sausage. You can find it at most grocery stores.
- If you have a different potato variety on hand feel free to use them. Just be sure to cut large potatoes into one inch cubes or smaller so they cook fast enough to brown well and cook thoroughly.
- You can choose a more robust pepper presence if you like. Roasting peppers like poblanos are great in this recipe. Hotter Jalapeños are great too if you like them. However, sweet peppers are tasty and most everyone will eat them.
- We use a smoky sweet dry seasoning to enhance this recipe. Our favorites are Sweet Mesquite Seasonings from Costco, or McCormicks Smoke House Maple.
Can you cook Smoked Sausage in a pan?
Smoked sausage is very easy to cook in a pan. For this recipe we slice the sausages into 1/2″ rounds which will cook and brown in about 6-9 minutes. The sausage is added after the veggies and potatoes have cooked through, keeping the sausages juicy and flavorful.
What goes with Smoked Sausage?
Smoked sausage pairs well with nearly anything and can be used as a protein base for a wide array of meals. Peppers and onions are a common companion of smoked sausage, but other veggies such as cabbage, celery, carrots, and even green beans are great choices as well.
