Ingredients you'll need to make sausage and potatoes.

**Find the full list of ingredients along with the recipe instructions at the end of this post**
- Baby potatoes (cut in half) - Baby potatoes have softer skins than other potatoes and higher moisture content, making them an excellent choice for frying. They are also a good source of potassium and Vitamin C. Potassium is essential for regulating your blood pressure, and Vitamin C is vital for immune system function, among many other things.
- Onion (sliced).
- Red bell pepper (sliced) - red bell peppers are the sweetest peppers, contrasting nicely with the potatoes and sausage.
- Italian seasoning - if you don't have this, you can combine basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram.
- Smoked paprika - you could also use hot paprika if you wanted to add some spice!
- Garlic powder.
- Smoked sausage - I like to use smoked turkey sausage because it's lower in fat than other kinds of sausage but still has a lot of protein to keep you full.
- Fresh parsley (to garnish).
