- ¾ lb small Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch chunks
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- ½ yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- ½ medium onion, sliced
- 1 ½ cloves garlic, minced

- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes; cook 8–10 min, stirring, until edges brown and tender when pierced.
- Push potatoes to the side; add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sausage. Cook 4–5 min until browned; remove to a plate.
- Add onion and peppers to the pan; sauté 4–5 min until softened. Stir in garlic, paprika, and red pepper flakes; cook 1 min until fragrant.
- Return sausage and potatoes to the skillet. Pour in chicken broth and Dijon; simmer 6–8 min until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley; give a quick stir. Serve hot with a simple green salad or crusty bread.
Chef’s Pro Tips
- For extra crispness, brown potatoes another 3–4 minutes before adding sausage.
- Finish with a splash of hot sauce or a drizzle of sour cream for extra richness.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a simple green salad and crusty bread to complete the plate; a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of grated cheese works well too.
