Cuisine: Persian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 sausages
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 sausages, 4 medium potatoes (diced), 1 onion (chopped), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon of turmeric, salt and pepper to taste, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and fresh parsley for garnish.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small, even-sized cubes to ensure they cook uniformly. Rinse the diced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes or until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Next, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Mix thoroughly to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
- Cover the skillet and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. If the potatoes begin to stick, you can add a splash of water or a bit more olive oil.
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a separate pan, cook the sausages over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking. Once done, remove them from the pan and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, gently fold in the sliced sausages into the skillet. Mix everything together and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- To serve, garnish the Persian sausage and potato skillet with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your dish warm as a hearty meal!
Tips
- Choose Quality Sausages: Opt for high-quality sausages, such as Persian or Mediterranean varieties, to enhance the dish's authentic flavor.
- Uniform Potato Cuts: Ensure your potato cubes are evenly diced for consistent cooking. This helps them achieve that perfect golden brown texture.
- Sautéing Technique: When sautéing the onions and garlic, keep an eye on the heat. If the garlic burns, it can impart a bitter taste to your dish.
- Cover While Cooking: Cover the skillet while the potatoes cook to trap steam, which helps them become tender faster.
- Adjust Seasoning: Always taste your dish before serving! Adjust the salt, pepper, and turmeric to suit your palate for the best flavor.
- Garnish for Freshness: Don’t skip the fresh parsley garnish! It adds a pop of color and a refreshing finish to the dish.
- Serve with Bread: For a complete meal, consider serving your Persian Sausage and Potato Skillet with warm bread or a side salad to balance the flavors.
