One Pan Sausage and Potatoes

This recipe was in a brochure we received with an order from the New Branfels Smokehouse. It's great with eggs for breakfast or with a side salad for lunch or dinner. If desired, slices of cheese may be melted over the sausage and potatoes at the end. Just cover the pan with a lid and wait until the cheese melts. Please make sure that you use a good quality smoked sausage for maximum enjoyment!
