Audrey's Sausage, Peppers and Potatoes


Are you catching a theme here? I did a dinner swap with Audrey last year and the relationship was SO not reciprocal. I'm sure she'll be blessed for her kindness.

Anyway, we had this tonight with a greek salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions marinated in white vinegar with coarse salt and garlic pepper and served over baby spinach and iceberg lettuce with feta cheese and pine nuts and a red wine vinaigrette. I wanted more.)

Ingredients

6 potatoes (if you use Yukon Golds, you don't have to peel them before cutting, but I only had Russets)
2 Bell Peppers julienned
1 yellow onion small dice
4 Italian Sausage Links (I buy Costco's Premio Italian Sausage, cheaper and bigger than Johnsonville, and just as delicious)
Olive Oil
Coarse Salt and Pepper
Minced Garlic
Dried Basil
Red Pepper Flakes



Instructions

1. Peel (if necessary) and dice your potatoes, keeping them the same size. Add julienned peppers and diced onion and 1 tsp. minced garlic. Toss with Olive Oil. Salt and Pepper to taste and add a pinch each of basil and red pepper flakes.



2. Using scissors, cut sausage links into bite sized nuggets over the potato/vegetable mixture in a 9x13 glass pan.


3. Bake at 350 for 60-90 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender and sausage is fully cooked and a little crispy.

  1. Tried this one tonight. Actually made it all up last night and put it in the refrigerator for Scott to pop in the oven tonight. It was GREAT! He gave it a thumbs up. Did not use the red pepper flakes, and no salt added. We did however add some mozzarella cheese after cooking and Scott added ranch dressing. Thanks for this blog!

  2. Also wanted to mention that I rarely cook with potatoes because quick frankly I don't like them. However, I found them tasty in this dish!
