Preparation

Cooking

  2. After the potatoes have started to brown, scoot them to the side and add the onions and sausage.
  3. Continue to flip everything occasionally for about 12-15 minutes until everything is cooked through and has toasty brown edges.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, and optionally paprika, according to your preference.
  5. If you like a little char, leave the ingredients alone for another minute before scooping them out.

Notes

Can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of oil for extra crispiness. Serve with crusty bread, a fried egg, shredded cheese, sour cream, or spicy mustard.
