Today's recipe is super easy, and awesome when you're in a hurry. Of course, potatoes and onions should be staples on hand all the time. I also always keep a bell pepper on hand in the fridge. They're pretty cheap (always buy the biggest, nicest one you can find since you pay per unit not by the lb), and they can add a ton of flavor to the simplest dish. Most grocery stores will have special sales on smoked sausage or kielbasa for buy one, get one free or super discounted prices. These sales usually happen every 4 months or so. Anyways, you should always buy the max allowed when they're really cheap, and freeze them. They freeze well in their original vacuum-sealed packages, or you can throw them in a ziploc.
With all that said, the recipe o' the day is a sausage skillet.
KISS Sausage and Taters
2 lbs sliced smoked sausage
3 lbs (about 6 med) cubed potatoes
1 diced onion
2 diced bell peppers
Cooking oil (I use canola for this)
In a large, deep skillet, brown your sausage until most of the fat is rendered. Remove the sausage to drain on paper towels. Add a little bit of oil (about 2 Tbsp.-enough to cook your potatoes) to the sausage fat in the skillet. When oil is hot, add potatoes and stir to coat with oil. Season with pepper. Depending on how salty the sausage is, you might not need any salt, but you can salt to taste. When potatoes are almost done, add the peppers and onion. Continue to cook and stir until potatoes are brown and tender, and the vegetables are done (about 5 mins). Put the sausage back in the skillet, stir until warm.
You can turn this into a breakfast dish by adding some beaten eggs in to scramble right before the peppers and onion.
Enjoy!
