SMOTHERED POTATOES AND SAUSAGE
I first tasted this dish at a little local restaurant in Lafayette, Louisiana, my hometown. I live in Texas and where I live, all we have are chain restaurants.

Steps:
- 1. Slice the sausage into 1/2-1 inch pieces and chop your onion. I use frozen, chopped onion. Peel potatoes and cut them into uniform cubes, about 1-2 inches square.
- 2. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven, and add the sausage and onion. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until onions are translucent and sausage begins to brown. Add a tablespoon or two of water if sausage starts to stick.
- 3. Add potatoes to the pot along with the sausage and onions. Fill the pot with about 2 inches of water and add seasoning of your preference. Since I am from south Louisiana, I like spicy food. I use onion powder, garlic powder, and Tony Chachere's (Cajun seasoning). I sometimes add chicken bouillon powder to the water, as well.
- 4. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes absorb the water, about 60-90 minutes. If the water cooks out before the potatoes are very soft, add more. You don't want the potatoes to get crusty.
- 5. Your dish is done when the water is all absorbed by the potatoes, and the potatoes are extremely soft.

ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN WITH SMOTHERED POTATOES
The reason the potatoes are called smothered here is because they are roasted under the flattened chicken, where they absorb all its juices. Prep time assumes the chicken is already butterflied. This is easy and delicious hot, tepid or cold. From "The Supper Book", Marion Cunningham.

SLOW COOKER SMOTHERED CUBE STEAK AND POTATOES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Season both sides of the cube steaks with garlic salt and black pepper OR you can season them with the montreal steak seasoning instead. Dredge the steaks in the seasoned all purpose flour. Pour olive oil into your skillet, just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet, and add 2 pats of butter to the skillet. Heat the oil and butter in the skillet being careful not to burn the butter as its heating and then brown the steaks in the skillet on both sides until they are golden brown and crisp, approximately 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Spray the inside liner of your crock pot with the cooking oil spray. Place the 4 browned cube steaks on the bottom of your crock pot. Pour 2 cups of water in a large glass and add the brown gravy mix. Stir with a fork until well blended and there are no lumps showing in the glass and then pour gravy mixture over the steaks. Crush 3 or 4 garlic cloves and then place the whole garlic cloves inside the crockpot. You can peel the garlic if you want or just throw them in as they will be removed and discarded after cooking. Spread the onions on top of the steaks in an even layer and then add the sliced potatoes on top of that. Put the 2 bay leaves in the slow cooker, cover with your lid and then cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 - 8 hours. After the steaks have cooked for the required amount of time, taste and re-season if needed and then add the 2 tbsp of worcestershire sauce to the crock pot about 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375F. 2. Dice potatoes into 1 and 1/2-inch cubes and place in cold water to keep from turning brown. Drain potatoes and place in saucepot along with chicken stock. Season lightly using salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Bring potatoes to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cook 10-12 minutes. Do not over cook because potatoes will be roasted. Drain potatoes well, reserving 2 cups of the chicken stock. 3. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add sausage and saute 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned and fat is rendered. Add onions, celery, bell peppers and sliced garlic, blend well and saute 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add potatoes and rosemary and stir to incorporate ingredients. Adjust seasonings with salt, black pepper and granulated garlic. Add 1-1 and 1/2 cups of chicken stock and bring to a boil. 4. Stir once and place into preheated oven 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and tender. Add green onions and parsley and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red potatoes hold their shape well and won't break down when cooked, making them perfect for smothered potatoes.
- Don't crowd the pan: When browning the potatoes, make sure to give them enough space so they can cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork when they are done.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want them to be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose one that you like the taste of.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.
Conclusion:
Smothered potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect smothered potatoes every time.
