Creamy Potatoes And Sausage

Creamy potatoes and sausage is an easy-to-throw-together meal that is great for a cool rainy day.

I love to have a few easy-to-throw-together meals in my back pocket for when I need them and actually, I use them quite often.

While on rare occasions I’ll go all out and make a main dish with some sides and a dessert, I most definitely prefer something simple that I can throw together in under an hour and is easy to reheat the next day.

This recipe came about while trying to use up leftovers and what we have the most of still preserved from winter. It has quickly become a favorite around our house.

What You Will Need

• Potatoes – I use canned potatoes, you can use raw potatoes, just cook them beforehand.
