Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. This simple preparation is a one-dish meal, featuring cauliflower, potatoes and sausage. Something this healthy shouldn't taste this decadent!

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 8 Covered Sausages

Ingredients

• 2  lbs  Italian sausages
• 1  head cauliflower, broken down to florets
• 1 (20 ounce) package  Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns
• 1  tablespoon  garlic salt
• 2  cups  grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Place cauliflower florets into a food processor and blend until you reach a lumpy consistancy.
2. Transfer cauliflower to a large colander set above a collecting bowl, and add the Simply Potatoes hash browns and 1 Tbsp garlic salt. Mix together well, cover with plastic, and place in refridgerator for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the casings from the Italian sausages, and form into 8- 5" long mounds. Place the sausage mounds onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4. Transfer the potato mixture to a large bowl, add the 2 C grated parmesan cheese, and stir well to combine. Add a little more cheese if the mixture is still a little soupy.
5. Using about one cup of the potato mixture, form a casing around the top and sides of each of the sausage mounds to cover completely. Bake in oven for 40 minutes. (I suggest serving with a simple gravy sauce).
