This recipe and post are brought to you by Pick ‘N Save. I’m not sure which aunt broke into “My Favorite Things” first, but it sparked a solid hour of uninterrupted show tunes, sung in a shameless, operatic manner while washing my Grammy’s impressively large collection of non-dishwasher safe tableware. Not one of us can carry a tune, and we all know every verse. Ben was introduced to our “tradition” during the first Christmas he spent with my family. Now a four-year vet, Ben has adjusted a bit to the dish-washing theatrics, but he has yet to join me in song. Personally, I think the time spent scrubbing an especially stubborn casserole dish is more enjoyable to the tune of “Do-Re-Mi,” but in the event that any members of your family disagree, you’ll be relieved to know that this all-in-one Italian sausage skillet leaves only one pan to wash (and thus one song to sing).
As someone who grew up south of Wisconsin, I tend to get a little salty this time of year, when my calendar and good logic tell me it should be spring, but my thermometer directs me to dive back under my covers with a mug of two-ingredient homemade hot chocolate. Although I’m still waiting for it to feel like spring outside, inside of my refrigerator, spring is singing a little show tune of its own.
About This Italian Sausage and Potatoes Recipe
I loaded up this Italian sausage skillet with all kinds of spring veggies like baby red potatoes, mushrooms, green onions, and carrots, and in a few months, I plan to make it again with lots of bell peppers and basil.
For protein, I added another sure sign (for me) of spring, Italian sausage. When the weather turns warm, we grill sausages so often that, whenever I purchase them, I immediately think of lazy afternoons on the lake or tailgating at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. Italian sausage offers instant flavor in a tidy package, so it’s great for quick and easy dinner recipes like this one.
How to Store and Reheat
This Italian sausage skillet yields a generous four servings and tastes excellent reheated too. It’s a family-pleasing, all-in-one weeknight dinner, and I imagine it would be excellent served hash-style at brunch with a runny egg on top too.
To Store. Place leftovers in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for about 4 days. To Reheat. Gently reheat this recipe in a large skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also rewarm this recipe in the microwave.
