Ingredients

1 lb smoked sausage or Polish sausage, sliced into rounds

3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced

1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks

1 large onion, chopped roughly

2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil once hot—it should sizzle when you add the potatoes.

Step 2: Add the sliced Yukon gold potatoes to the griddle or pan. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt over them. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to crisp and soften.

Step 3: Push the potatoes to one side of the griddle. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the sliced sausage. Let it brown for about 5 minutes until lightly crispy on the edges.

Step 4: Toss in the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir everything together and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Ensure all ingredients are well combined and heated through.

Step 6: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Substitute smoked sausage with chicken, turkey, or vegetarian sausage for different flavors or dietary preferences.

Add other vegetables like carrots, broccoli, asparagus, or mushrooms, cutting them into uniform sizes for even cooking.

Use Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture, but russets or red potatoes work as well.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water to help steam and refresh the flavors. This dish can also be frozen for up to 3 months—reheat thoroughly, though some vegetables may lose their crispness after thawing.
