Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a cast iron skillet. Brown sausage rounds for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add remaining oil and potatoes. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, then stir occasionally for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Add peppers and onions to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and edges are charred.
  4. Return sausage to the pan. Season with oregano, cracked pepper, and salt. Toss for 2 minutes and serve.

Notes

Use a high smoke point oil to avoid bitter flavors.
Ensure potatoes are dry before adding to the pan for maximum crunch.
