Exactly what to grab at the store — whole units, no guessing at "half an onion."

  • 14 oz smoked sausage
  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese, topping
  • Dinner rolls, side

How to Make It

  1. Brown sausage slices in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 3–4 minutes; remove and set aside.
  2. Add potatoes to the same skillet in a single layer, don't stir for 4–5 minutes so they crisp.
  3. Add onion and bell pepper, cook 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
  4. Return sausage to the skillet, season, and toss everything together.
  5. Top with cheese and serve with dinner rolls on the side.

No-Time-For-That Tip: Don't crowd the potatoes — spread them thin so they crisp instead of steam.
