Baked Polish Sausage and Potatoes
/I love a good dish my husband can easily put together without a lot of instructions. When I say my husband can easily put together, I mean just that. After having an emergency appendectomy in January, I quickly realized I needed more recipes that my husband and son could easily put together when needed. Baked Polish Sausage and Potatoes is just that kind of recipe I wish I would have had ready for them in January.
Baked Polish Sausage and Potatoes
When my sister and I spent the summer with my oldest brother and his wife when we were teenagers, my sister in law fried polish sausage and potatoes one night. I loved it! I loved the recipe enough to bring into my kitchen when I got married and the best part about it is it’s FRUGAL.
When I taught school, a former student brought baked sausage and potatoes for lunch one day. After a little quizzing, I realized their mom basically used the same ingredients for
and added the sausage. I knew I had to try baking the potatoes and sausage together and that is what I did.
Several weeks ago, I was digging through a pile of cookbooks and scrap paper where I had written recipe notes down. On one little 3x5 card, I found Baked Sausage and Potatoes. There was nothing else written down, but I quickly remembered baking the dish and how good it was. I knew I had everything on hand except for garlic. So I wrote out some ingredients for my husband to fix one night for supper when I had to work. All I’m going to say is YUMM!!!!!
He had the bright idea of sprinkling paprika for color and adding cheese at the end. Did I tell you how yummy it was? YUMMM!!!
