A delightful and easy-to-make one-pan meal featuring smoked sausage, baby potatoes, and tender green beans, perfect for a cozy autumn evening.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly coated with oil to prevent sticking.
Slice the smoked sausage into rounds and add them to the skillet. Cook until browned.
Stir occasionally to brown the sausage evenly.
Cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking.
Add the potatoes to the skillet, arranging them around the sausage. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir gently to coat the potatoes with the oil and seasoning.
Trim the ends of the green beans and place them on top of the potatoes.
Cover the skillet to trap steam and cook the beans evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are fully cooked.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of parsley or thyme adds a fresh touch.
