Ingredients:
- 1 white potato
- 2 sweet potatoes
- Sausage (quantity not specified, adjust based on preference)
- Oil (if needed)
- Seasonings (to taste)
Instructions:
-
Start frying the sausage: Begin by frying the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to cook until browned and cooked through, releasing its flavorful juices. This typically takes around 10 minutes, but ensure it’s thoroughly cooked before proceeding.
-
Add oil if needed: Depending on the sausage you’re using, there may not be enough grease to cook the potatoes. If necessary, add a drizzle of oil to the skillet to prevent sticking and help cook the potatoes evenly.
-
Prep the potatoes: While the sausage is cooking, peel and dice the white and sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
-
Season and add potatoes: Once the sausage is cooked and there’s enough grease (or oil) in the skillet, add the diced potatoes to the pan. Season generously with your favorite seasonings. Classic choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, but feel free to get creative with your seasoning blend.
-
Cover and fry: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. This allows them to soften and absorb the flavors from the sausage and seasonings.
-
Uncover and continue cooking: After 10 minutes, remove the lid and check the potatoes for doneness. They should be tender and lightly browned on the edges. If they’re not quite done, give them a gentle stir and continue cooking, uncovered, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the potatoes are cooked through, and the flavors have melded beautifully, it’s time to serve up this delightful dish. Plate it hot and savor the comforting flavors of the sausage and potatoes. This dish is perfect for cozy dinners at home or as a hearty contribution to potluck gatherings. Enjoy! π½οΈπ₯
