👨‍🍳 Instructions
    Sauté Sausage:
      In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
        Cook Vegetables:
          In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
            Add Potatoes:
              Add sliced potatoes to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine with the vegetables.
                Deglaze and Simmer:
                  Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
                    Garnish and Serve:
                      Once cooked, garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
