Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and dice the potatoes into roughly 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4–1/2-inch rounds.
  3. Chop the onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic. Grate cheddar and chop parsley.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Add the sausage in a single layer and brown for 2–3 minutes per side until edges caramelize. Remove sausage and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil if needed. Add onions and bell pepper; sauté 3–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Add diced potatoes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat. Cover the skillet and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring every 4 minutes.
  5. Remove lid, add the sausage back to the pan, stir in minced garlic, and cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle parsley and cheddar over the top, cover briefly to melt cheese, and drizzle hot sauce if using.
