- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

- Cook the potatoes: In the same skillet, add the olive oil and diced potatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Add the vegetables: Stir in the diced bell pepper, onion, and smoked paprika (if using). Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Combine the ingredients: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and pour the maple syrup over the mixture. Stir to combine and let the flavors meld together for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
