Directions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the onion until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- 2
Add the sausage slices and brown them well on both sides, about 4–5 minutes, to develop a deep flavor.
- 3
Stir in the tomato paste, coating the sausage evenly. Add the potato quarters, season with salt and pepper, and scatter in half the parsley.
- 4
Pour in enough cold water to just cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- 5
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and chives. Optionally, thicken the leftover broth into a gravy by whisking in a teaspoon of cornstarch.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use smoked calabrese sausage for a deeper, smokier flavor. Add a diced red bell pepper with the onion for extra sweetness and color. Leftovers reheat beautifully and taste even better the next day.
