Ingredients
- 4 sausages
- 2 bell peppers
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 sausages, 2 bell peppers (any color you prefer), 4 medium potatoes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashy. If using a gas grill, allow it to heat up for about 10-15 minutes.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into quarters or bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Place the potato pieces in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender but not mushy.
- While the potatoes are boiling, wash the bell peppers. Cut them in half, remove the seeds and stems, and slice them into strips or bite-sized pieces.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and bell peppers. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Place the sausages on the grill. Cook them for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- While the sausages are grilling, you can also add the potato and bell pepper mixture to the grill. Use a grill basket or wrap them in aluminum foil to prevent them from falling through the grates. Grill the vegetables for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Once everything is cooked, remove the sausages and grilled vegetables from the grill. Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before slicing them.
- Serve the grilled sausages alongside the roasted potatoes and bell peppers. Enjoy your delicious American-style grilled sausages with peppers and potatoes!
Tips
- Choose high-quality sausages for the best flavor - consider bratwurst, Italian, or spicy varieties.
- Par-boiling potatoes before grilling ensures they're tender inside and crispy outside.
- Use a grill basket for vegetables to prevent them from falling through the grates.
- Always check sausage internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety.
- Let sausages rest for 3-5 minutes after grilling to retain their juiciness.
- For extra flavor, try marinating vegetables in herbs or adding a splash of balsamic vinegar.
- If you don't have a grill, this recipe works perfectly in an oven or on a grill pan.
