In a large skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat, brown the smoked sausage in a few drizzles of olive oil. Cook for for 2-3 minutes on each side then remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the diced onion and peppers to the skillet. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper to your taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they're beginning to soften and brown then add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the potatoes and zucchini to the pan. Cook until the potatoes are browned and fork tender. Around 10 minutes. Add additional oil to the pan as needed. Scrape bottom of the pan periodically.
Slice the smoked sausage and add back to the pan, stir to distribute. Continue to cook until heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onion and serve immediately.

Sausages - You can use turkey sausage, beef sausages or pork sausage in this recipe. Kielbasa or andouille also works.
Prep the Vegetables in Advance - This recipe takes less than thirty minutes to prepare making it low stress, too. You could cut the zucchini, bell peppers and onion in advance and pop them into the refrigerator in plastic storage bags until you're ready to assemble the dish for cooking.
Potatoes - You can use another variety of potatoes in this recipe. Russet potatoes, white potatoes, red potatoes or even halved baby potatoes. Please note, the cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on the type used, as the starch content varies.
Garlic - You could swap out garlic powder or granulated garlic in place of garlic cloves.
How to Get the Best Char - It's best to use a large skillet for potato hash to allow frying the potatoes in a single layer so they'll char, and not simply steam. Once you add them to the pan, let them sit and avoid stirring too much or they may break apart.
Serving Options - When do you serve potato hash? I serve this hash for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. There's no wrong time of day for a quick skillet meal.
