SMOTHERED POTATOES AND SAUSAGE
I first tasted this dish at a little local restaurant in Lafayette, Louisiana, my hometown. I live in Texas and where I live, all we have are chain restaurants. I was mentioning this dish to someone, and she shared this easy recipe with me. When cooking Cajun/Creole food, rarely is there an exact recipe; things are seasoned to...

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.

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.

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.
Tips:
- To save time, pre-cook the potatoes in the microwave for 5-7 minutes before browning them in the skillet.
- For a smokier flavor, use a smoked paprika or chipotle powder instead of regular paprika.
- If you don't have smoked sausage, you can use regular sausage, kielbasa, or even hot dogs.
- Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the skillet for extra flavor.
- Garnish the finished dish with chopped green onions, chives, or parsley.
