• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2½ pounds russet potatoes, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup water

Directions:

1. Prepare the Sausage: Cut sausage into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages, chopped onions, and garlic. Sauté until browned, about 3-4 minutes, then remove to a plate.
2. Cook the Potatoes: Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add diced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
3. Steam the Potatoes: Pour in the water, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover the skillet. Cook for 10 minutes, tossing the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.
4. Finish Cooking: Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Combine and Serve: Return the sausage and onion mixture to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
