Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing and peeling (if desired) the potatoes. Dice them into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking. Chop the onion and bell pepper, and slice the sausage.
Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
Sauté the Vegetables and Sausage: Push the cooked potatoes to one side of the skillet. In the same skillet, add the sliced sausage, chopped onion, and diced bell pepper. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sausage is heated through, and the vegetables are softened.
Incorporate the Cheese: Once everything is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.
Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese is melted, give everything a gentle stir to combine. Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
You can use any color of bell pepper and garnish with fresh parsley.
