EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND POTATO SKILLET



Easy Italian Sausage and Potato Skillet image

Provided by Martha

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1½ pounds any type potato (Russet, new red, yellow, all purpose, etc.)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1½ pounds Italian sweet sausage, cut into thick slices on the bias
1 pound onion, sliced into thick slices
2 large green peppers, cut into thick strips
¼ cup chicken or vegetable stock
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dry oregano
¼ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • In a large skillet with a tight fitting lid, fill half full of water.
  • Peel potatoes (if using small new red potatoes, no need to peel) and cut into wedges about the same size as a steak fry. Place in water as you cut. Place pan on stove, and bring to a boil, then cover and lower to a medium boil and boil for five minutes. Potato wedges should still have a good bite. They will be cooked again later. With a strainer, remove to a plate. Discard water.
  • Wipe out the pan and add the olive oil. Heat over medium high and add the sausage pieces. Brown on both sides, then reduce heat and continue to cook and turn until they are cooked through. Remove to a medium bowl.
  • Add onions and peppers and sauté for about 8-10 minutes or until the peppers just start to lose their crunch. Add the stock and stir to loosen up any brown bits from the pan. Pour this mixture in the bowl with the sausages.
  • Add butter to pan and add seasoned salt, garlic powder, oregano and paprika. Place drained partially cooked potatoes in butter mixture and toss lightly to coat both sides then cook until potatoes are browned and cooked through, turning occasionally to brown both sides.
  • Add the sausage, peppers and onions back with the potatoes and stir lightly without breaking up the potatoes and serve.

This mouthwatering skillet supper offers a delightful blend of Italian flavors, combining juicy chicken thighs, flavorful sun-dried tomatoes, and a rich white wine sauce. The addition of fresh spinach adds a refreshing twist to the dish, while the creamy mascarpone cheese lends a velvety texture and a touch of indulgence.

Tips:

  • Use succulent chicken thighs for a tender and flavorful experience. Their higher fat content keeps the meat moist during cooking, resulting in a succulent and satisfying bite.
  • Enhance the dish with sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of sweetness and tanginess. These sun-kissed gems add a delightful depth of flavor that beautifully complements the chicken and white wine sauce.
  • Incorporate fresh spinach for a vibrant pop of color and a boost of nutrients. This leafy green not only adds a refreshing touch to the dish but also packs a punch of essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Indulge in the velvety embrace of mascarpone cheese. This luscious cheese adds a rich, creamy texture and a touch of decadent flavor, elevating the dish to a new level of indulgence.
  • Use a good quality white wine to create a flavorful sauce. The wine's acidity adds a bright and lively touch to the sauce, while the alcohol cooks off, leaving behind a subtle yet sophisticated flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Give the chicken thighs enough space to sear properly and develop a golden-brown crust. This will result in a more flavorful and evenly cooked dish.
  • Season the dish generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavors of the chicken, vegetables, and sauce.

Conclusion:

This easy Italian skillet supper is a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and transport you to the heart of Italy. The tender chicken thighs, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and creamy mascarpone cheese come together in perfect harmony, creating a dish that is both satisfying and sophisticated. Serve it over a bed of fluffy rice or pasta, and enjoy a culinary journey that will leave you craving for more.
