🥔 Cheesy Garlic Butter Potatoes & Sausage: A Flavorful Delight in Just 10 Minutes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
For the dish:
✅ 3 medium potatoes – peeled and cubed into bite-sized pieces
✅ 1 smoked sausage (or any sausage of your choice) – sliced
✅ 2 tbsp butter
✅ 1 tbsp olive oil
✅ 3 cloves garlic – minced
✅ ½ tsp paprika (optional for a bit of heat and flavor)
✅ ½ tsp black pepper
✅ Salt to taste
✅ ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a combination)
✅ Chopped parsley – for garnish (optional, but adds freshness!)
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Potatoes
🔥 In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
🥔 Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir them around to coat evenly in the oil and seasoning. Let them cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside.
2️⃣ Add the Sausage & Garlic
🌭 Once the potatoes have started to crisp up, add the sliced sausage to the pan. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown and become slightly crispy.
🧄 Add the minced garlic and stir everything together. The garlic will cook very quickly, releasing its rich aroma—don’t let it burn! Let everything sauté together for another 2-3 minutes, making sure the potatoes are fully tender and the sausage is cooked through.
3️⃣ Add the Cheese & Finish the Dish
🧀 Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the potatoes and sausage. Reduce the heat to low and let it melt for about 1-2 minutes, giving you that creamy, cheesy goodness that brings everything together.
🌿 Garnish with chopped parsley to add a pop of freshness and color to the dish.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
🍽️ Once everything is melted and well-combined, it’s time to serve. You can plate this up alongside a simple salad or enjoy it just as it is for a quick and filling meal!
