Tips and alternates:

Make sure not to burn the onions and garlic and keep an eye on the temperature of the pan.

Cover the pan for a bit while cooking to speed up the cooking time. Covering the pan helps to steam the potatoes, making sure to stir often.

To help remove the starch from the potatoes, soak them in water. This will also ensure that the potatoes will evenly cook. Or omit this step if short of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do smoked sausages require oil for frying?

Southern fried potatoes and sausage

For a couple of minutes over medium heat, heat your pan or skillet until it is hot and ready to use. To the pan, add a tablespoon or so of oil. Given their high-fat content, sausages need only a small amount of oil to get them started before they begin to produce their natural oils throughout cooking.

How can you reduce the grease in smoked sausage?

Use a slice of bread to soak up and blot the excess oil from the pan after browning ground meat or sausage. This is useful for absorbing oil when cleaning the bottom of a skillet and for skimming fat off the surface of soup or chili.
