One Dish Dinner: Sausage, Potatoes, and Peas

Sausage, potatoes, and peas is a simple one dish dinner for those evenings you want a hearty comfort food kind of meal.

Sausage, potatoes, and peas was a family favorite when I was growing up. Coming from a family of 9 (7 kids), we definitely needed two dishes to make this, but for families of 4 or 5, it can still be a one dish dinner wonder in comfort food. It never turns out as a very pretty dish but always hits the spot in terms of flavor.

The taste and seasonings will vary depending what sausage you use but my favorite is a spicy chicken or turkey sausage of some sort. Most recently I used turkey chorizo from Whole Foods and oh was it ever tasty – spicy but delicious. This recipe is for a family of 5 so you will want to add on for a larger family. For a smaller family I wouldn’t change it because leftovers are even better.

I love to make this in my cast iron skillet because there is something that makes food that’s been fried in a cast iron skillet taste better. My pans are well seasoned so I just need 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.
