• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

Kosher salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1½ teaspoons dried thyme

4 links fully cooked Italian chicken sausage (12 ounces), ½-inch sliced

½ yellow onion, thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 bunch curly kale, ribs removed and roughly chopped

1 lemon, halved

Directions

Boil the potatoes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until almost fork tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Brown the potatoes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, working in batches, add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook undisturbed until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and crispy all over, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, adding a little more olive oil if necessary. Season the potatoes all over with the salt, pepper, and thyme and toss to combine.

Cook the sausage.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken sausage and cook until browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the bowl with the potatoes. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until just softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir the potatoes, onions and sausage.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the kale and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Return the potatoes and sausage to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook until warmed through.

Season with lemon juice.

Squeeze the lemon over top and serve.
