Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb Smoked Sausage (or substitute with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage)
Vegetables
- 2 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes (can be replaced with pre-cooked or frozen potatoes, or sweet potatoes)
- 2 medium Zucchini (or substitute with bell peppers or squash)
- 1 medium Onion (or substitute with carrots or mushrooms)
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper
Seasonings
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder (or use fresh garlic if preferred)
- 1 tsp Onion Powder (omit for a milder flavor)
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (substitute with regular paprika and a touch of chili powder if needed)
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
Cooking Oil
- 2 tbsp Oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Preheat the Cooking Surface: Heat a Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and wait for it to shimmer, indicating it’s ready to cook.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the sliced Yukon Gold potatoes to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Brown the Sausage: Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the cleared space. Lay down the sliced smoked sausage and brown it for about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Add the Vegetables: Introduce chopped onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir everything together well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still retain some crispness.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausage for dietary preferences.
- Yukon Gold potatoes can be swapped with pre-cooked, frozen potatoes, or even sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer, fresh garlic can replace garlic powder for a more intense flavor.
- Adjust onion powder amount or omit for a milder taste.
- Smoked paprika adds a distinctive smoky flavor; if unavailable, use regular paprika with a pinch of chili powder to mimic the heat and smokiness.
- Cook veggies to your preferred tenderness; removing them earlier will keep them crisper.
- This dish can be paired with a fresh green salad or served over rice for a complete meal.
