Ingredients
1lbhot or sweet Italian, breakfast or bratwurst sausage (links cut into 1" pieces, or patties or ground sausage crumbled while cooking.)see notes in blog post
3/4c.chopped sweet onion
12baby red potatoes, halved
1large red pepper cut into 1-inch pieces.
1/2tsp.pepper
1tsp.dried thyme leaves
1/4c.chicken broth (optional)
1tsp.Dijon mustard (optional)
1/4 c.fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Place halved potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and add salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook on a low boil for 7 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
Cook sausage, onion, and thyme on medium heat in a large skillet in a little olive oil for about 5 minutes, until sausage is starting to brown and onion softens. Remove the sausage mixture from the pan and keep it warm.
Add a little more olive oil, then add potatoes, and red pepper. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until potatoes are browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add sausage mixture back into pan and heat ingredients through, stirring occasionally. If you use bratwurst links or patties, try this optional flavor booster: Stir 1 t. Dijon into 1/4 c. chicken broth. Add to the skillet while everything is heating through and cook until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
