Notes
- Slicing the Sausage. Slice the smoked sausage into ⅓ to ½-inch slices for even cooking and easy eating.
- Cook on Low. You want to simmer the potatoes, not boil them. This keeps them from falling apart why they cook.
- Prep in Advance. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl of water to keep them from turning brown until you add them to the sausage mixture.
- Cooking Without Oil: You can cook the sausage in a bit of water if you prefer that instead. I find cooking the sausage with a bit of oil helps to keep it from sticking until the fat inside begins to render. Both ways will work.
