Ingredients
Scale
For the Stir Fry:
- 1 lb smoked sausage or Polish sausage, sliced into rounds
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch thick)
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks
- 1 large onion, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
For Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
For Garnish:
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Your Griddle: Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. It should sizzle slightly when you add the potatoes.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the sliced Yukon gold potatoes to the griddle or skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt evenly over the potatoes. Let them cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the potatoes to caramelize and soften.
- Add the Sausage: When potatoes are tender and starting to crisp, push them to one side of the griddle. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the sliced sausage. Let it brown for about 5 minutes until edges become lightly crispy.
- Mix in the Veggies: Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the pan. Stir everything together, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but retain some crispness.
- Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Mix everything well to ensure all flavors are combined and heated through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Blackstone Cowboy Stir Fry Dinner!
Notes
- You can substitute smoked sausage with turkey sausage or vegetarian sausages for a healthier or meat-free option.
- Sweet potatoes may be used instead of Yukon gold potatoes for a sweeter twist.
- If you want to add more vegetables, carrots, broccoli, asparagus, or mushrooms work well; cut to similar sizes for even cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet or microwave, adding a splash of water to help maintain moisture.
- Slice potatoes thinly (about 1/4 inch) to achieve even cooking and perfect texture.
- Preheat the griddle or pan thoroughly before adding ingredients for the best sear and flavor.
