Oh yes, that’s a classic hearty skillet breakfast or dinner—super flavorful and easy to pull together! Here’s how to make it:
Fried Potatoes, Onions, and Sausage Skillet
Ingredients:
- 3–4 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or russet work best)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1–2 cups sausage (sliced or crumbled; breakfast sausage or smoked sausage)
- 2–3 tbsp oil or butter
- Salt & pepper
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or fresh herbs like parsley
Steps:
- Prep Potatoes:
- Dice potatoes into small cubes for quicker cooking.
- Optional: parboil potatoes for 5 minutes to speed up frying and get extra fluffy insides.
- Cook Sausage:
- Heat skillet over medium heat, add sausage, and cook until browned.
- Remove sausage and set aside (leave drippings in skillet).
- Cook Potatoes & Onions:
- Add oil/butter if needed.
- Add potatoes and cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
- Add onions halfway through cooking so they soften and caramelize.
- Combine & Season:
- Return sausage to skillet.
- Mix everything, season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Cook 2–3 more minutes so flavors meld.
- Serve Hot:
- Perfect on its own, or with fried eggs, toast, or biscuits.
If you want, I can also give a shortcut sheet-pan version where you toss everything on a baking sheet and roast in the oven—super easy cleanup and evenly crispy.
Do you want me to do that version too?
