Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, sliced
1/2 pound Italian sausage or your favorite breakfast sausage, I have used all different meats, today I used bulk sausage
2 - 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms (optional)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 - 1 teaspoons onion powder

How To Make cassie's italian home fries

Step 1

In a large skillet, saute the peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms in enough oil that they won't stick. When soft and starting to brown; remove and drain on a paper towel.

Step 2

In the same skillet, crumble and brown the sausage until it's no longer pink. Drain on a paper towel.
Step 3

Add more oil to the pan. Add sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. I sometimes leave the skin on the potatoes and par-cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes. They cook much faster that way. And the starch makes them brown nicely.
Step 4

Continue cooking until potatoes are tender and getting brown. Add the crumbled sausage and veggies back to the skillet. Mix well.
Step 5

When potatoes are cooked, sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cover until the cheese is melted.
Step 6

Serve with eggs or leave the meat out and serve as a side with whatever meats for dinner. These are good any time of the day. I sometimes scramble eggs and pour them over the top of the potatoes and mix throughout. Then add the cheese and melt. Yum! Add some hot pepper flakes for a bit of a kick.
