Method
Prepare the ingredients: Dice the potatoes into uniform 1.5cm (1/2 inch) cubes, dice the onion and bell pepper, and slice the chicken sausage into coins.
Heat 15ml (1 tbsp) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned and fully cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 74°C/165°F if raw). Remove sausage from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 15ml (1 tbsp) of oil to the same pan. Add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a crust, then stir and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender and golden brown.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and peppers are soft.
Return the cooked sausage to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes to reheat the sausage and meld the flavors. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Chef's Notes
- Use a cast iron skillet if available; it retains heat well and creates the best crust on the potatoes.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking potatoes. If your pan is small, cook potatoes in two batches to ensure they fry rather than steam.
- For a breakfast variation, crack 4 eggs into wells in the hash during the final few minutes, cover, and cook until whites are set.
- If using raw sausage meat instead of links, break it up with a spatula into crumbles during the first cooking step.
Storage
Refrigerator: 3 days — Store in an airtight container. Potatoes may lose crispness.
Freezer: 1 month — Texture of potatoes will degrade significantly upon thawing.
Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore texture, or microwave for convenience.
