Ingredients:
- 1 Italian sausage
- 4 potatoes
- 1 cup water
- Lipton’s Onion Soup mix
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sausage: Begin by cooking the Italian sausage in a pan with a small amount of water until it is just done, ensuring that it retains its juiciness and flavor.
-
Brown the Sausage: Once the sausage is cooked, either cook off the water or drain it from the pan, then continue to pan-fry the sausage until it is well browned, offering a deliciously crispy exterior that adds texture to the dish.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: While the sausage is cooking, wash the potatoes thoroughly, and if desired, peel them before cutting them into bite-sized chunks, ensuring that they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
-
Deglaze the Pan: Once the sausage is browned to perfection, remove it from the pan and set it aside. In the same pan, mix the Lipton’s Onion Soup mix with water, using it to deglaze the pan and infuse the dish with savory flavors.
-
Add the Potatoes: Carefully add the prepared potatoes to the pan, ensuring they are coated evenly with the flavorful mixture. Allow the potatoes to soak up the delicious broth as they cook, adding depth and richness to every bite.
-
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, releasing their natural sweetness and adding heartiness to the dish.
-
Prepare the Sausage: While the potatoes are simmering, cut the cooked sausage into disks, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch thick, ensuring that each slice is bursting with savory flavor and succulence.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are tender, add the sliced sausage back into the pan, stirring well to combine all the ingredients, allowing the flavors to meld together in a harmonious union of taste and texture.
-
Final Simmer: With the cover removed, allow the dish to simmer gently until the sausages are heated through and the liquid has slightly thickened, creating a luscious sauce that coats each component with irresistible flavor.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Sausage and Potatoes hot, accompanied by a crisp green salad and sautéed onions and peppers, along with some crusty Italian bread to soak up any remaining juices and complete the meal with a touch of rustic charm and satisfaction.
This recipe is not only quick and easy to prepare but also incredibly versatile, making it a perfect choice for busy weeknights or lazy weekends when you crave a comforting meal that’s bursting with flavor and wholesome goodness.
