FAST FOOD: POTATOS AND SAUSAGE.

POTATO AND SAUSAGE

There are time when I don't want to spend 1 to 2 hours cooking.  I get home and I want something quick and easy.  This is my go to Fast Food.  

INGREDIENTS:
1 good size link of Precooked Sausage your choice any type is fine.  Precooked is better, because your really not cooking it your just heating it. 

 About 4 Potatoes.     Red, Yellow Finnish, Yukon, Yams, or Sweet potatoes it's all good.    And you can mix and match if you like.  2 Red potatoes and a half of Yam etc.  It's all going to cook the same. 

1/2 Tablespoon of Olive oil.

1 half minced Jalapeno (optional)   I like it because it adds some nice heat and really wakes you up.

2 minced garlic cloves.
Note: You can also add red bell pepper to the sauté and any thing else that you think will make it more yummy.    Another thing I do is if I have any gravy ice cubes in the freezer I use them for this meal.  It makes it into a stew.   Another thing is steam up some carrots.  Again make it your own.

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

FIRST: 
Cut the potatoes into bite size chucks. Remember the smaller the quicker they cook and the bigger the longer they cook.   Put all into a small pan of water and bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes and then turn to low.  Always check your food.   Take the biggest piece out cool it and take a bite.  If it's crunchy not done.  If it falls apart it's over cooked.   It should be able to hold it's shape and be kind of al dente, but not crunchy.   

SECOND:  
Cut the sausage length wise and dice into small pieces.    You can use a lot or a little this is up to you.  
Mince up garlic and jalapeno and add to a pan with about a half of table spoon of Olive oil. Saute' on medium until garlic is fragrant then add the sausage.  
Note: Depending how strong the jalapeno is this will make your eye water up a bit.  It dose mine.  That the good burn. :)     
Cook sausage until you see the tips of the sausage turn brown here and their, then turn off burner. 

THIRD: 
Drain Potatoes and add to the sausage.   EAT!  

The premise here is fast and easy.  If you want to add more things like carrots and other veggies,  go for it.

My Hubby and I like to add Sriracha Sauce it.   

ENJOY
