Ingredients
Scale
For the Stir Fry:
- 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
For Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
For Garnish:
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Your Griddle: Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. It should sizzle slightly when you add the potatoes.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes to the griddle or pan. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt evenly over the potatoes. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to crisp up and soften.
- Add the Sausage: When the potatoes are tender, push them to one side of the griddle or skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then add the sliced sausage. Allow it to brown and crisp on the edges, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Mix in the Veggies: Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Stir all ingredients together and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender yet still slightly crisp.
- Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Ensure everything is well combined and heated through evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the stir fry from heat and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty and flavorful Easy Blackstone Cowboy Stir Fry Dinner!
