A simple one-pan meal of crispy baby potatoes and smoky sausage cooked in garlic butter. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1214 oz smoked sausage (kielbasa or andouille), sliced into 1/2-inch coins
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (or dried thyme)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Add halved baby potatoes to a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook 8–10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain well.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage coins and cook 3–4 minutes, flipping, until browned. Remove to a plate.
  3. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add drained potatoes cut-side down and cook 8–10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until deeply golden and crisp.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic; stir 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle in smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Return sausage to the skillet. Add chicken broth and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until glossy and coated.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, let potatoes sit undisturbed while searing.
  • Use any smoked sausage variety you prefer.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
