 Serves 4 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound 

  Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

• 3/4 teaspoon 

  kosher salt, divided

• 2 tablespoons 

  olive oil, divided

• 1 pound 

  uncooked pork sausage, casings removed

• 1 

  medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces

• 2 

  cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon 

  freshly ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon 

  red pepper flakes

• Juice from 1 medium lemon

• Fresh parsley leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover by 1 inch with cold water, and add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cook just until the potatoes are fork-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes; set aside.

2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off any excess fat in the pan.

3. Reduce to heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil and potatoes to the pan. Spread the potatoes in an even layer across the bottom of the pan and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and peppers are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.
