Ingredients:

• 1 pound sausage links or sausage patties (such as Italian sausage or smoked sausage), sliced
• 4 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)
• 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

2. 
   

3. Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. If using raw sausage, make sure it is fully cooked before proceeding. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

5. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.

6. Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.

7. 
   

8. Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes to the skillet. Season with dried thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

9. 
   

10. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

11. 
    

12. Once the potatoes are tender, add the chopped kale to the skillet. Stir everything together and cover with the lid again. Let the kale wilt down for about 2-3 minutes.

13. 
    

14. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir it in with the potatoes and kale. This will heat up the sausage again.

15. 
    

16. Taste the skillet dinner and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

18. Optionally, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the skillet dinner before serving for extra richness and flavor.
