Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large potatoes
1 (12 ounce) package smoked sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 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.
