In case you comply with me on Instagram, you recognize that there’s one dinner we make a minimum of a number of instances each single month: Sausage & Potatoes. Each time I make it, folks ask me for the recipe. And each time, I simply say that I wing it… as a result of I do!
However I figured it was excessive time I really sat down and typed up a minimum of the fundamentals of how I make it to present you one thing to go off of! ?
This recipe is so versatile, comforting, filling, and straightforward. Plus, I usually discover the components on nice gross sales or markdowns (which is why we make it so usually!) so it’s very frugal, too.
You may make this within the the sluggish cooker or as a sheetpan dinner. The sluggish cooker is nice if you wish to make it earlier within the day after which have dinner completed. Making it on a sheet pan provides it a extra flavorful, roasted taste.
The Elements I Use
I make it somewhat in a different way each time, primarily based upon what we’ve got available. Listed here are the components I take advantage of:
Sausage: I all the time use some kind of rope sausage or kielbasa. We like smoked sausage greatest as I like the way it flavors all the pieces. I simply slice it.
Potatoes: I all the time use both potatoes or candy potatoes or each. I peel and chop into items.
Veggies: Relying upon what I’ve available, I’ll use a mix of peppers (we particularly love purple/orange/yellow), onions, and/or carrots.
Broth, water, or oil: I add somewhat hen broth, beef broth, or water if I prepare dinner within the sluggish cooker or drizzle with olive oil if I’m roasting it on a sheet pan within the oven.
Seasonings: You may add herbs or seasonings, for those who’d like. However I discover that the sausage will taste it sufficient for those who don’t.
The best way to Make It
I slice the sausage, chop the veggies, after which both lay out on a sheet pan and drizzle with oil or put in a sluggish cooker and pour a couple of cup of broth or water over.
If I’m cooking within the sluggish cooker, I’ll prepare dinner on low for 4-6 hours or on excessive for 3-4 hours. (If I make a big batch, I’ll add further cooking time.)
If roasting within the oven, bake at 350 levels for an hour. Stir a number of instances whereas baking to completely roast all the pieces.
And that’s it! Let me know for those who make it and for those who attempt any new variations on this staple recipe!
