Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Potatoes
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Glaze
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Finishing Touch
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
- Cook the potatoes: Once the sausage has a nice sear, stir in the diced potatoes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to crisp up and turn golden, about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Coat and simmer: Pour the glaze over the sausage and potatoes, and stir to ensure everything is evenly coated. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet, and let the dish simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the glaze has thickened.
- Finish and garnish: Uncover the skillet and let the glaze continue to cling to the sausage and potatoes for 1-2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with kielbasa or your favorite sausage variety.
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the spices.
- Using Yukon Gold potatoes will yield a creamier texture, but russets work well too.
- Covering the skillet during simmering helps potatoes cook evenly and glaze thicken nicely.
- This dish can be paired with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
