budget-friendly Smoked Sausage and Potato Skillet:
Ingredients:
- 1 smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or Andouille), sliced into rounds
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
- Optional: additional seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or herbs of your choice
Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
