How to make sausage potato skillet

You can use any potatoes you like, I used red-skinned potatoes. I cut into thin wedges. You can slice them round too.

BEFORE YOU START: While making roast potatoes I usually parboil potatoes either in a large pan immersed in water or microwave at high power 1200w for 8 minutes until it’s fork-tender.

In today’s recipe I used raw potatoes and cooked it directly on skillet by covering it with lid and cooking for 10 to 12 minutes stirring regularly. You can par boil potatoes first and then brown it in cast iron skillet. If using par boiled potatoes, time to brown potatoes will reduce.

1. Cook potatoes in a hot cast iron pan over medium to medium-high heat. Do not overcrowd the skillet. And do not turn potatoes for a few minutes first. This will ensure you get evenly cooked and charred on one side potatoes.
2. Season potatoes with salt and pepper while cooking. Cover potatoes with lid and cook for 10-12 minutes stirring regularly. Once potatoes are evenly cooked remove them from skillet.
3. Add sausages to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. That’s how long it took me to cook smoked chicken sausage. Note: if using breakfast sausages or Italian sausages or chorizo (any of the raw sausages) you will have to increase the cooking time to ensure raw meat is cooked.
4. Now add sliced onions, minced garlic, red and yellow bell peppers cut length-wise to the sausages. Cook for a few minutes.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and red chili flakes. Bring it all together with ¼ cup chicken stock.
6. Wait until everything is cooked through and stock is evaporated completely.
7. Add back the cooked potatoes to the skillet and wait for 5 minutes.
8. Remove from heat, season with parsley, and serve.

Useful tips for best skillet potatoes

1. You can use any type of potatoes. Highly recommend you use baby yukon gold or baby red potatoes.
2. Cut potatoes evenly to ensure everything is cooked well and evenly.
3. Use a cast iron pan to get perfect skillet potatoes. Potatoes and sausages slightly charred to dark brown add wonderful smoky flavor and tastes great. You can’t get those flavors in other types of skillet.
4. Use olive oil and butter for richness and taste.
5. Wait for the cast iron pan to turn HOT before you throw in potatoes.
6. DO NOT OVER CROWD THE PAN.
7. Wait for 5 to 8 minutes before you turn the potatoes. This step ensures you get nice char on potatoes. If you pile the potatoes in the skillet, potatoes won’t brown well.
8. Also do not cover the potatoes. Covering the skillet with a  lid will turn potatoes mushy!
9. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Mix well, and keep stirring at regular times. Cook until potatoes are cooked through. This can take about 10-12 minutes depending on your stove and the size of the potatoes.
