Heat the Pan: Start by heating a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the Sausage: Add the smoked sausage slices to the pan. Let them cook until they render some fat and develop a nice, crispy exterior. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove and Set Aside: Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
2. Cook the Onions and Garlic
Add the Onions: To the same pan, add the chopped onions. Cook them for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and turn golden.
Add the Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant and the spices to bloom.
3. Prepare the Potatoes
Add the Potatoes and Butter: Add the diced potatoes to the pan, along with a generous dollop of butter. Stir to coat the potatoes in the buttery, aromatic mixture.
Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. This will help the potatoes soften.
Flip the Potatoes: After 10 minutes, flip the potatoes to ensure even cooking. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes or until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
4. Bring it All Together
Reintroduce the Sausage: Add the cooked sausage back into the pan. Stir everything together and cook for a few more minutes until the sausage is heated through.
Serve and Enjoy: Your hearty, comforting meal is ready to be served. Enjoy it hot and relish the delightful blend of flavors!
