  • to taste salt and pepper Simple seasoning that makes all the difference!

Cooking

  • Once the oil is heated, carefully add the diced potatoes to the skillet.

  • If using onion, add it after about 5 minutes when the potatoes are starting to soften.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for better flavor. Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying. You can make variations using different sausage or adding vegetables.
