Cooking Steps

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Add sliced andouille sausage and diced Yukon gold potatoes. Cook, stirring often, until the potatoes go from translucent to opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
