Skillet Sausage and Potato Cassarole



This quick dish is a favorite of my son, Matt, and works great if you are pressed for time after work and have some basic ingredients in your fridge and cupboard.

Ingredients

Smoked link sausage, sliced (low fat turkey is great if you are watching fat intake)
Two or three medium potatoes, peeled and sliced medium
1 medium white or yellow onion, sliced
1 bell pepper (any color), cored and sliced the same width as the potatoes and onions
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp rosemary
parsley sprigs
dash salt and pepper
(you may use your favorite spice mix if you do not have dill or rosemary, but for shame if you don't)
1 gallon size plastic bag

Add sliced potatoes to the bag, pour in oil and spices. Toss thoroughly to mix and
set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium flame and pour in the seasoned, oiled potatoes, discarding bag. Saute until potatoes are beginning to brown, stirring frequently to expedite even browning, but do not cover. After browning has begun add the onions and peppers, and stir frequently until onions are clear. Add the sausage, stir and cover, reducing flame to low.

Dish is done when the potatoes are fork tender and the sausage is heated through. Garnish with parsley and serve with a green salad and, if you prefer, a red wine or beer.
