Method

1. Put a medium pot of cold water to boil over high heat, and place a colander in the sink

3. Drain the potatoes in the colander and leave them there until needed
4. Meanwhile, place a large skillet over medium heat
5. After about a minute, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan
6. Add the sausages (whole), and cook gently for about 15 minutes, turning them every couple of minutes, until golden brown all over
7. The sausages are cooked through when no longer pink in the middle
8. You can check by cutting in with a small sharp knife to be sure
9. Transfer the cooked sausages to a cutting board, let them cool for a few minutes, and then slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds
10. Leave them there until needed
11. Without cleaning it, return the skillet to medium-high heat, and immediately add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil
12. After about 30 seconds, swirl to coat the pan
13. Add the onion, bell peppers, and salt
14. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the onion is golden brown
15. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute
16. Add the cooked potatoes and the sausage rounds, and cook, stirring often, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until everything is heated through
17. If the mixture looks dry, stir in a tablespoon or two of water and heat briefly
