Smothered Potatoes With Smoked Sausage Recipes

SMOTHERED POTATOES & SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Start off by washing, then peeling the potatoes.
• Next slice the potatoes in even slices (so that they can cook evenly!)
• Place the peeled & sliced potatoes in a large bowl with water to prevent the potatoes from browning, then dice up the other ingredients.
• Pour the vegetable oil in a large skillet, and heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add in the sliced smoked sausage, and cook until browned, then remove from the pan.
• Now drain, and pat dry the potatoes, then add in the potatoes into the hot oil, and fry.
• Once the potatoes start to get nice and tender, add in the peppers and onions.
• Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and garlic powders.
• Pour in the chicken broth, and fold the ingredients.
• Toss the smoked sausage back into the pan, and combine the ingredients.
• Cook until everything is nice and tender, and the broth is absorbed by the potatoes.
• Serve and enjoy!

SMOTHERED POTATOES AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 1. Slice the sausage into 1/2-1 inch pieces and chop your onion. I use frozen, chopped onion. Peel potatoes and cut them into uniform cubes, about 1-2 inches square.
• 2. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven, and add the sausage and onion. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until onions are translucent and sausage begins to brown. Add a tablespoon or two of water if sausage starts to stick.
• 3. Add potatoes to the pot along with the sausage and onions. Fill the pot with about 2 inches of water and add seasoning of your preference. Since I am from south Louisiana, I like spicy food. I use onion powder, garlic powder, and Tony Chachere's (Cajun seasoning). I sometimes add chicken bouillon powder to the water, as well.
• 4. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes absorb the water, about 60-90 minutes. If the water cooks out before the potatoes are very soft, add more. You don't want the potatoes to get crusty.
• 5. Your dish is done when the water is all absorbed by the potatoes, and the potatoes are extremely soft.

FRIED POTATOES AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Put a large skillet on the stove on Med High. Put oil in the pan and add the chopped onions and garlic. Peel and cube the potatoes. The smaller the cube the less cooking time. Add salt and pepper to season accordingly to your taste. Turn the potatoes every few minutes till they are browned on all sides. Slice the smoked sausage (I use the skinless with cheese inside) and add to the pan. Cover then stir every few minutes. We like the meat really browned so I turn up the heat to high till the sausage slices are the right color.
• Serve with a salad and some sweet tea, and you have the perfect midweek meal.

SMOTHERED CABBAGE WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• heat the oil in a dutch oven
• cook the onions for about 3-5 minutes
• increase the heat to medium high, add the sausage and let it brown up
• add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds
• then add half the chopped cabbage, 2 TBSP of water, the paprika and the chile powder
• stir to loosen any brown crispy bits
• then reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook 5 minutes
• meanwhile crush the fennel seeds and the celery seeds and stir them in to the cabbage
• after 5 minutes add the rest of the cabbage and the rest of the water
• cover and cook about 10 minutes stirring occasionally, if you notice it's getting dry add another 2 TBSP of water, in theory the cabbage should be releasing it's own water and won't need any extra but sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't
• after cooking for 10 minutes, taste for salt and pepper, add as needed and serve while hot

SMOTHERED CABBAGE WITH POTATOES AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half, take out the core and slice. Sliced your potatoes in about in little less than 1/2 inch slices, about a quarter inch. Slice your onions or chop them, then slice your smoked sausage in 1/2 inch pieces
• Heat your oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add your potatoes and onions and cook on medium high heat until your potatoes begin to brown a little. Turn them and reduce the heat, add a lid and turn your heat to low and cook for a few minutes just until the potatoes start to soften a little, but not done. Increase your heat and add your cabbage and smoked sausage and cook turning as all the ingredients brown a little. After a few minutes, lower the heat, cover and let the cabbage smother a little until soft. Then again, raised your heat, remove the lid, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook until the ingredients have browned a little and are fork tender. Add a pat of butter just to bring everything together. Enjoy!!

SMOTHERED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large heavy skillet with a close-fitting lid, add water to cover and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
• Let cook (uncovered) until all the water evaporates.
• Continue cooking turning the sausages so that they brown well on all sides and don't stick.
• Pour off any excess fat and add the onions, bell peppers, celery, salt, peppers, and an additional 1 cup water.
• Stir well scraping bottom of the pan to loosen any bits of sausage that may have stuck.
• Reduce heat, cover, and let cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove from heat.
• Remove sausages and let the juices sit 5-10 minutes (allows grease to rise to the top), skim and discard the grease (if you like a thicker gravy stir in the roux and let simmer 20 minutes more).
• Add the sausage and the green onions and parsley and simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes more.
• Serve immediately.

SMOTHERED POTATOES WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F. 2. Dice potatoes into 1 and 1/2-inch cubes and place in cold water to keep from turning brown. Drain potatoes and place in saucepot along with chicken stock. Season lightly using salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Bring potatoes to a rolling boil, reduce to simmer and cook 10-12 minutes. Do not over cook because potatoes will be roasted. Drain potatoes well, reserving 2 cups of the chicken stock. 3. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add sausage and saute 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned and fat is rendered. Add onions, celery, bell peppers and sliced garlic, blend well and saute 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add potatoes and rosemary and stir to incorporate ingredients. Adjust seasonings with salt, black pepper and granulated garlic. Add 1-1 and 1/2 cups of chicken stock and bring to a boil. 4. Stir once and place into preheated oven 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and tender. Add green onions and parsley and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
