Potato & Breakfast Sausage Skillet
Potato & Breakfast Sausage Skillet
With cheese! Everything is better with cheese 🙂 This recipe/guide is wide open to variants you make. I based this using my homemade sausage, not store bought. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 250 grams bulk breakfast sausage, OR make from a shortcut, (1/2 lb)
- 2 cups potatoes, diced 1/2 inch, skin on
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder, if using Thai chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded, Cheddar or Monterey Jack
- fresh spring onion, sliced for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat a large non stick pan on medium heat then crumble in the sausage and brown, brown and cook through. Remove the sausage to a bowl with paper towels to drain. Set aside.
- Add the potatoes and onion to the same pan on medium heat, stir to coat with the sausage fat, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder as desired. Stir again, reduce heat to low, cover the pan. Stir the potatoes every 5-10 minutes and brown them evenly.
- When the potatoes are browned and tender, return the sausage back to the pan and stir into the potatoes.
- Cover with the cheese, cover and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sliced spring onion if desired.
- Serve with buttered toast or sliced and fried tomatoes (I know, that part is very British but sounds like a good pairing with this.)
Notes
One kilo of pork is 100 Baht, 250 grams would be about 74 Baht, for 3 servings, certainly low cost.
Shortcut: Breakfast Sausage.
Variants: 1. After the cheese is just melted, mix that in, then make some indention's on the top and crack in an egg in each indention and place the cover on, cooking to set the whites and yolks still set. 2. Use diced ham or bacon in place of the sausage. 3. Use Italian sausage in place of breakfast sausage. 4. Add a diced red bell pepper.
Adapted from an internet recipe.
Easy and excellent tasting dish! Very good use of bulk breakfast sausage. I made this on 31 July 2018, delicious! I used a bit more sausage, about 300-325 grams, as well as about 1 cup of cheese with prefect results. Divided it into thirds for myself, sister in law, and her husband, very well liked. Highly recommended.
