Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.Reheat leftovers on the stove over medium heat, or in the microwave in 30-second increments.
Freeze: Let the meal cool entirely, then store it in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 months. For best results, transfer to the fridge to thaw for 24 hours before reheating.
Adjust the Heat: There are a lot of different ways that you can add more heat to sausage and potatoes. The easiest way is to use spicy smoked sausage or increase the number of chili flakes used. However, you can also add cayenne pepper or try adding fresh jalapeños, or serranos, with the bell peppers. If this recipe looks too spicy for you, just dial back the red pepper flakes.
Deglaze: This recipe calls for you to deglaze the pan with water or chicken stock. Deglazing is a great opportunity to add more flavor to your one-pan sausage and potatoes, so we recommend using the broth, or any other flavorful liquid. You can use white wine, veggie broth, or beef broth to deglaze this easy dinner.
