Fried potatoes and sausage have long been a budget friendly, but delicious dinner idea. If you've never eaten it before, this quick recipe is just what you need! Made with just a handful ingredients, this skillet meal is ready in just under 40-minutes.
Add a thin layer of oil (around 1/2") to the bottom of a skillet. Preheat on medium/low heat.
Bacon Grease
Chop white onion into small/medium size pieces and add to skillet.
1/2 Medium White Onion
Wash potatoes well. Peel if desired. Slice thinly and set aside.
6 large Russet Potatoes
Slice smoked sausage into pieces of your desired size.
7 oz Smoked Sausage
Wait for the oil to be hot enough that it has a shimmery appearance and add potatoes, seasonings and sausage to skillet. Place lid on skillet and turn heat to medium/medium-high.
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder, Salt, Black Pepper
Cook over medium/medium-high heat, stirring every few minutes, until potatoes are soft and crispy and sausage is cooked through. If potatoes begin to stick to the bottom of the skillet, check that you have enough oil in the skillet and add more as needed.
