Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the potatoes (460 g) and cut them into 1.5 cm to 2 cm cubes. Slice the onion and seed the bell peppers, then cut them into strips.

  2. Start the potatoes

    Heat half the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and a pinch of salt and brown them, stirring now and then.

  3. Cook covered

    Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring now and then, until the tip of a knife slides in easily.

    Tip · If the potatoes stick to the bottom, add a tablespoon of water and put the lid back on: the steam finishes cooking them without burning them.
  4. Add the onion and bell peppers

    Uncover, add the onion and bell peppers with the rest of the olive oil. Sauté over medium heat, stirring.

  5. Cut and add the sausages

    Cut the 3 Toulouse sausages into 3 cm pieces and push the veggies to the side. Put the pieces in the skillet and brown them on all sides.

  6. Finish cooking

    Toss everything and keep cooking over medium heat until the sausages are cooked through, with no pink at all in the center. Add pepper and adjust the salt.

    Tip · Cut a piece of sausage in half to check: the inside should be evenly grayish-beige, no pink.
  7. Serve

    Divide between two warm plates and serve right away.
