# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

In the same pot over medium heat, add diced onion, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
03 -
Add Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, chicken broth, and cubed potatoes to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
04 -
Return browned sausage to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Simmer for 5 more minutes until heated through and cheese is melted. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use russet potatoes for a creamy texture and ensure sausage is fully browned for depth of flavor.
