Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes, until browned on both sides. Move it to a plate.
Add the remaining oil and the potatoes to the skillet and spread them in an even layer. Cover and cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until almost tender.
Uncover and add the onion, bell pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crisp and the onion is soft.
Return the sausage to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Taste and add more salt if needed.
