Smoked Beef Sausage and Potato Skillet: A Hearty One-Pan Comfort Meal

Learn how to make a hearty Smoked Beef Sausage and Potato Skillet with savory flavors in one easy pan

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ouncesbeef smoked sausage, sliced into thin medallions
  • 2 tablespoonsbutter
  • 2 tablespoonsolive oil, divided
  • 2onions, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 2garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 10medium red potatoes (about2¾pounds), peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 1½ cupschicken stock
  • 2 teaspoonspaprika
  • ½ teaspoonsmoked paprika
  • ¾ teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoonchopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients
  2. Slice the sausage, onions, and potatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley so everything is ready before cooking.
  3. Brown the Sausage
  4. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large deep skillet or heavy pot over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the beef sausage medallions and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until caramelized and browned on both sides.
  6. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  7. Caramelize the Onions
  8. In the same skillet, add the butter and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once melted, stir in the sliced onions.
  9. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the onions turn soft, golden, and slightly sweet.
  10. Add the Garlic and Seasonings
  11. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until the garlic becomes fragrant and the spices coat the onions evenly.
  12. Add the Potatoes
  13. Add the sliced potatoes into the skillet, folding them gently into the onion and spice mixture to coat them completely.
  14. Pour in the Stock
  15. Add the chicken stock and stir lightly. Press the potatoes down so they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
  16. Cover the skillet with a lid slightly ajar to let some steam escape.
  17. Simmer the Potatoes
  18. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring gently once or twice to keep the mixture from sticking.
  19. Uncover and continue simmering for another 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the broth has thickened slightly.
  20. It’s okay if some potatoes break apart — this helps create a creamy texture.
  21. Finish the Dish
  22. Return the browned sausage to the skillet and gently fold it into the mixture. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and drizzle with a touch of olive oil.
  23. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
  24. Serve
  25. Spoon into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread or a simple green salad.
