Ingredients
  • olive oil or bacon fat
  • 1 (14 ounce) smoked sausage, sliced on the bias into thin medallions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 onions, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • salt
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 2¾ pounds red potatoes, sliced into ½ inch thick rounds
  • 1 ½ - 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
Preparation Instructions
  1. In a dutch oven or large stock pot, heat the bacon fat or olive oil (which ever you prefer), over medium high heat.
  2. Add in the sausage, cook until nicely browned on both sides then remove and set aside.
  3. Lower the burner to low and add the butter.
  4. Add the onions and stir to coat with the fat and then let sit, stir every so often until the onions are browned and nicely caramelized.
  5. Add in the garlic, salt, pepper and paprika, toss to coat the onions.
  6. Add the potatoes, tossing with the onion mixture until nicely coated then pour in the chicken stock. The potatoes should just barley be covered by the liquid. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer, covered but with lid slightly to the side so the steam can escape, simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring every so often.
  7. Remove the lid and continue simmering about 15 - 20 minutes more, until the potatoes are nice and soft, make sure to still stir them a couple times during this simmering.
  8. Once they are soft and calling your name, toss the sausage back in sprinkle some parsley over the top and serve with a warm crusty loaf of bread and enjoy your cozy, warm meal.
