Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

8 oz smoked Polish sausage, sliced into rounds

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Rinse the diced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Soak them in a bowl of water for about 20 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Polish sausage and cook until they are browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

        Fry the Potatoes: Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the drained and dried diced potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes in the seasonings.

          Crisp Up the Potatoes: Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Combine and Serve: Add the browned sausage back to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

              Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
