Sweet Italian Sausage With Warm Potato Salad for One.

Submitted by T. Woolfe

"Ok. This one's more for the methods involved than the actual meal which is nothing spectacularly diffrent but very tastey and quick. I'm touting the tricks/shortcuts involved as much as the actual recipe. You'll want a Microwave, plus one small bowl and a small skillit. The warm potato salad will stand on it' own as a side. It's quick and dirty but sets well in the tummy."
