This was pretty tasty although DH was a bit unsure about putting potatoes into a bun, so he ate his separately. I have to say I liked it in the bun! I made it as written except using all sweet Italian sausage, yukon gold pototoes, and a red and yellow pepper as that is what I had on hand. I'd definitely recommend using 1/2 hot Italian and 1/2 sweet Italian because I think it would add to the flavor. I will probably increase the amount of sausage to 1.5 lbs total next time. I may also try to add a bit of seasoned salt to the potatoes next time just to spice it up a bit. I was a bit worried because my potatoes weren't soft when they should have been per the recipe, but I just plowed on and added the other ingredients. Everything was done by the end of that 30 minute mark. This was a perfect recipe for a day that I was at home, but didn't have time to fuss over a meal. We'll definitely have this again! Thanks for sharing Alan!

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
