For the Potatoes:
In a large skillet, heat oil and add potatoes. Add seasoning and cook until potatoes are tender, stirring as needed.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over potatoes and stir until all potatoes are coated. Set aside.
For the Green Beans:
In a large pot, heat oil and add green beans.
Add seasonings and toss until green beans are coated. Cook until they turn a bright green, approximately 5 minutes.
Add water to pot, cover, and steam until green beans are tender, about 2-3 minutes.
For the Sausage:
In a large frying pan, add sausage and water and cook over medium high heat until sausages have browned and most of water has evaporated. Drain grease, if needed, and set aside.
Tips
Choose the Right Potatoes: Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape well during cooking and have a creamy texture.
Cut them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
To save time, partially cook the potatoes in the microwave or boil them for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet.
Maximize Flavor: Browning the sausage first adds a deep, smoky flavor to the dish, as the drippings left in the pan enhance the potatoes and green beans.
Season in layers, tasting as you go, and add spices like smoked paprika, onion powder, or chili flakes for extra depth.
Variations
Spicy Twist: Use spicy Italian sausage or chorizo instead of smoked sausage for a bold, zesty flavor.
Add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños to turn up the heat, and garnish with a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
Vegetarian Version: Replace sausage with plant-based sausage or smoked tofu for a meat-free alternative.
You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra color and variety.
