Sausage and Potato Skillet

the gender reveal story is coming, but until then i think i'll hook you up with another recipe.  this is one of those typical meat and potato meals.  i found it in a healthy cookbook, but of course i have come up with ways to alter the recipe and make it a little less healthy.  aka way more delicious.  

here's what you'll need:

-1 pound of sausage (I use spicy pork sausage, found in the lunch meat/bacon section of the grocery store; I really think a spicy sausage adds a lot of flavor)
-1 onion, chopped

-2 lbs red potatoes (about 12 medium, unpeeled, very thinly sliced)

-1 1/2 cups chicken broth

-1/2 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp paprika

-Garlic salt and Flavor Booster (generously)

-1/8 tsp pepper

 

  

      1.   Start by chopping your onions and slicing your potatoes very thin

2.     Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage.  Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, under no longer pink.  Transfer sausage to a plate and set aside for now.    

3.   Add onions, cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Gently stirring, cook sausage and remaining ingredients.   

remember to be generous on the seasonings.  i added about this much garlic salt/flavor booster now and also a few minutes before it was done cooking.

4.   Heat to boiling.  Reduce heat to medium-low (for me, medium because my stove doesn't get as hot as most), cover tightly and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.  Remove from heat, gently stir mixture.  Let stand covered 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend and light sauce to form. 

 

and there you have it!  this meal is man-approved, especially if you use the spicy sausage cause it gives the whole dish a nice kick.  when it comes to serving sizes, i don't go by your standard servings.  this recipe said it makes 4-6 servings, but when you have a hungry husband and a tasty dish like this, you get 2 servings plus one large leftover meal.  i'd say this feeds 3 men or 4 women :)

enjoy!
