Italian Breakfast Skillet with Sausage and Peppers

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian Sausage (sweet or hot)
• 2 medium Bell Peppers (any color)
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 pound Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Prepare your ingredients: Dice the 1 pound potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut the 2 medium bell peppers into 1/2-inch pieces. Dice the 1 medium onion into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel and mince the 2 cloves garlic.
2. 2Remove the 1 pound Italian sausage from its casing, if it has one, and crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
3. 3Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Add the crumbled Italian sausage to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned on all sides.
5. 5Add the diced potatoes, bell peppers, and onion to the skillet with the sausage. Stir everything together. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. You can test a potato piece by piercing it with a fork; it should be easily pierced.
6. 6Stir in the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
7. 7Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.
8. 8Serve the Italian Breakfast Skillet hot.
