    1
    Slice potatoes, about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Then cut into wedges.

    Slice Italian sausage and brown in skillet along with oregano and thyme for about 5 minutes. (I have a slow cooker that has a browning setting so I use that.) I remove the casing around each slice before the next step.
