Sausage and Potatoes Stir Fry Recipe:
Brown crunchy fried baby potatoes companion perfectly with onions, sweet peppers and your favorite smoked sausage.
This crispy potato and sausage meal also makes a great breakfast option when paired with eggs and a warm biscuit.
- Smoked Sausage
- Potatoes
- Dry Smoked sweet seasoning
Tips:
- If you are out of fresh onions and garlic, use dehydrated garlic and onion powders in a pinch. But fresh is best for texture and flavor.
- We most often use Smoked Chicken Sausage. Any smoked sausage will work well with this recipe. One of our personal favorites is Aidells Smoked Chicken Apple Sausage. You can find it at most grocery stores.
- If you have a different potato variety on hand feel free to use them. Just be sure to cut large potatoes into one inch cubes or smaller so they cook fast enough to brown well and cook thoroughly.
- You can choose a more robust pepper presence if you like. Roasting peppers like poblanos are great in this recipe. Hotter Jalapeños are great too if you like them. However, sweet peppers are tasty and most everyone will eat them.
- We use a smoky sweet dry seasoning to enhance this recipe. Our favorites are Sweet Mesquite Seasonings from Costco, or McCormicks Smoke House Maple.
Can you cook Smoked Sausage in a pan?
Smoked sausage is very easy to cook in a pan. For this recipe we slice the sausages into 1/2″ rounds which will cook and brown in about 6-9 minutes. The sausage is added after the veggies and potatoes have cooked through, keeping the sausages juicy and flavorful.
What goes with Smoked Sausage?
Smoked sausage pairs well with nearly anything and can be used as a protein base for a wide array of meals. Peppers and onions are a common companion of smoked sausage, but other veggies such as cabbage, celery, carrots, and even green beans are great choices as well.

I have been amazed at your work. Quite fabulous.
Do potatoes need to be cooked first
Nope. Just cut the raw spuds and put them in the skillet as directed
This looks so tasty! I’m making it for dinner. 🙂 I’m all about one dish meals, for sure!!
Me too Michelle! This one is a keeper for sure!
I have made sausage and peppers for years ,( it is actually on this weeks menu0, but always served it over pasta. I know we would love it with potatoes also.
You totally would Cindy! I hope you try this. The seasoned skillet fried potatoes are AWESOME in this meal!
Thank you. Now I need to find someone that is a member of Costco
What is Sweet Mesquite seasoning?
Hi Ruth, Thanks for asking about Sweet Mesquite Seasoning. I found this awesome seasoning blend at Costco! It’s Kirkland brand. This seasoning blend includes sea salt,black pepper, chili pepper, red pepper and oregano. It also includes dehydrated vegetables and mesquite smoke flavor. I love it for adding a bit of smoke to my recipes without overwhelming them like liquid smoke can. I even use it in potato salad! Hope this helps! have a great day! Diane
@homemadefoodjunkie,
But you never mention when to add it, or I can’t find it in the steps.
Hi Erin, Thanks so much for pointing this out. I have updated the recipe card with this step added in. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know it needed a fix. Happy Cooking!
I just got a text from my husband that said; “I love you and Potato, Sausage, Pepper stir-fry” I guess this recipe is a keeper.
I used frozen pepper strips so they were yellow, red and green and mini golden potatoes. I put the lid on the pan after putting the potato chunks in so they were done perfectly.
Thank you so much for letting me know you loved Potato Sausage Pepper stir fry! This is one of my hubby’s favorite quick meals too! Your version of this fast, easy, dinner sounds wonderful! I’m so glad your family enjoyed this recipe! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment for me.
My housemate and I can’t wait to make this! I’m just wondering-this recipe looks like it would be amenable to adding carrots. Do you think that could be done? If so, what size carrots would you use and when would you add them in? I’m not enough of a chef yet to know how to execute this idea… thank you in advance!
Hi Barb, One medium sized carrot should add a nice texture and flavor to this stir-fry. Add the carrots in with the potatoes. Enjoy! Please let me know how you like this easy, tasty meal.
All my husband’s favorite things in one dish. You know this is getting made!
Hi Sharon, Thanks for the comment! When you make it let me know how he likes it. Our family loves this quick and easy meal!
Do you boil the potatoes first before you fry them up?
Hi Diane, Thanks for your question! It prompted me to add a note at the bottom of the recipe about the potatoes. If your using larger or older potatoes, cut them small and add the garlic and onions after the potatoes begin to brown. Enjoy!
Your recipe for the potato sausage stir-fry listed sausage 12 ounces of sausage twice as an ingredient. Was this a mistake? This is fairly important, because I’m wondering if the recipe calls for 12 ounces or 24 ounces.
Hi Tom! Thanks for pointing out the error in the recipe. It should be just one 12 oz. package of sausage. Enjoy!
