Tips: Balsamic vinegar can be substituted for the sherry vinegar.

1. Brown sausages: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown sausages lightly on all sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to plate, and set aside.

2. Microwave potatoes: Toss potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, teaspoon salt and teaspoon pepper in microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and microwave on high until potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes, shaking bowl (without removing plastic) to toss potatoes halfway through.

3. Saute peppers and onion: Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from skillet. Add bell peppers and onion, and return to medium-high heat until peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Serve immediately with crusty bread to sop up the savory sauce.
