Zesty Sausage and Potato Skillet Dinner

This combination expertly adds wonderful flavors and textures that go well with your favorite mashed potatoes. Add in some chunky salsa, and you’ve got a hearty meal that’ll stop hunger in no time!

Bursting with sweet pepper and sausage flavor!
by KatieJo 7 months ago
This is a nice twist of my father's traditional sausage potato skillet with an assortment of peppers except with this recipe there is more flavor and the potatoes are mashed instead of sliced. I added extra garlic in my mashed potatoes, but I love garlic!

Awesome......great flavor!!
by Trish79 7 months ago
Very easy to make. I used mild salsa, only because I have a 1 1/2yr old, and she ate 2 helpings! Excellent flavor!!! I added some seasonings to my mashed potatoes, because thats what I usually do, a little garlic powder, a little onion powder, dash a pepper, and a 1/4 cup shredded chedder cheese and the flavors with the sauasage mixture was great. The cilantro really made the flavors pop. Definitely making again! I used the Polish Kielbasa sausage ( usually I use smoked, but my grocery store hadn't restocked and I had a coupon expiring that day), got online and found this recipe......

Everyone loved this one....
by tmartyn 7 months ago
I saw this recipie in my coupon section and thought that I would give it a try. I have a 12 year old son who doesn't always like certain things so I thought for sure he would not like this. He saw what I was going to be adding and he told me that he was not giong to eat it, but once he tried it he finished off his plate and wanted to make sure that I had left overs for the next day. SInce it was such a hit with the mashed potatos I am going to try it over rice tonight. I don't think that anyone will be disappointed. I am going to make some more of these recipies in the near future.

Very good and easy to prepare
by Dutch 7 months ago
While I am not much of a cook, I have to say that this recipe is virtually fool proof. And the flavor is outstanding. Combining the taste of the sausage, the crunchiness of the vegetables, the surprise of the salsa and the mashed potatoes is a real winner. Highly recommended for a filling meal.

I made real mashed potatoes to put this dish over. The potatoes were done just as I was finished cutting up the other ingredients. I was surprised how much flavor and how fresh this meal was. It was quick and easy. I like a little kick to my meals so I chose to use a medium spiced salsa. Love this easy dish!
