Ingredients
Scale
Meats
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
Vegetables
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small onion, chopped
Seasonings & Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Griddle: Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or cooking oil to the surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook Potatoes: Add the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and are tender inside. This creates a crispy yet soft texture.
- Set Potatoes Aside: Remove the cooked potatoes from the griddle and set them aside on a plate to keep warm while you cook the other ingredients.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the griddle and toss in the zucchini rounds, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped onion. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize.
- Cook Sausage: Add the smoked sausage slices to the vegetables and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sausage is heated through and slightly browned, enhancing its smoky flavor.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, optional crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano over the cooked ingredients. Stir well to evenly coat and combine the flavors.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked potatoes back to the griddle with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Toss all ingredients together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with kielbasa or andouille sausage for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes according to your spice preference or omit for a milder dish.
- Use a mandoline slicer for thin, even potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
- If you don’t have a Blackstone griddle, a large cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat works well.
- Serve with a side of fresh greens or crusty bread for a complete meal.
