ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 (12 ounce) package smoked sausage
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons oil
- salt and pepper
directions
- Put a large skillet on the stove on Med High. Put oil in the pan and add the chopped onions and garlic. Peel and cube the potatoes. The smaller the cube the less cooking time. Add salt and pepper to season accordingly to your taste. Turn the potatoes every few minutes till they are browned on all sides. Slice the smoked sausage (I use the skinless with cheese inside) and add to the pan. Cover then stir every few minutes. We like the meat really browned so I turn up the heat to high till the sausage slices are the right color.
- Serve with a salad and some sweet tea, and you have the perfect midweek meal.

Added some "Slap yo mama" seasoning, green peppers, and spinach. Turned out delicious -

Mixed-up recipe; ingredients are OK but you should cook the potatoes first (take longer than onions), before the onions and garlic. Doesn't specify if the garlic should be minced or whole. Doesn't specify if the sausage is precooked or raw (think Johnsonville). If raw, you should boil the sausage for 10 minutes before slicing/frying. Turning up the burner to high after browning the potatoes and cooking the onions and garlic will burn them all. The sausage should be cooked separately! -
This was made on 6/25/09 for mine and SO's dinner.Since the was just the two of us,the recipe was reduced down to serve two.I used three medium sized potatoes and about 7 ounces of beef smoked sausage. And the onion was cut back to 1/3 cup, and I forgot the garlic ( next time I'll remember it ) This was a very good "comfort food " recipe. Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :) " -
I want to make this so badly but I can't fried potatoes to save my life! They stick to the pan and I usually end up having to throw the pan away... -
Edible, but nothing special. Made the recipe as written and it was very bland, even with a bunch of salt and pepper.

For sure I did the potato first, then added the onion and garlic. Removed from the skillet and browned the sausage, then put it all in together to allow the flavors to blend. Topped with cheese and sour cream.

I am a southern girl who loves to cook. I have a very finicky husband who likes stuff bland so it is a constant battle in the kitchen. Luckily I am winning him over bit by bit :)
