Cassie's Italian home fries are ideal for anyone who wants a hearty and delicious side dish for breakfast or brunch. The potatoes are crispy on the outside, and the inside is tender. Sausage, along with garlic, peppers, onions, and mushrooms, adds a ton of flavor. Paprika and Italian seasoning are subtle. Fry or scramble eggs and serve these home fries for a comforting breakfast. My family loves these for breakfast. So tasty, yet simple. I make these for dinner as well.

Ingredients :
- 4 medium potatoes
- sliced
- 1/2 pound(s) Italian sausage or your favorite breakfast sausage
- I have used all different meats
- today I used bulk sausage
- 2 - 3 clove(s) garlic
- thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper
- chopped
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper
- chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh mushrooms (optional)
- 1 medium onion
- chopped
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon(s) onion powder
- 1/2 cup(s) shredded Italian 6 cheese blend or whatever cheese you prefer
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) paprika
- pinch(es) Italian seasoning
- - salt and pepper
- to taste
- - oil to saute
- I use olive oil
Intructions :
- In a large skillet
- saute the peppers
- onions
- garlic
- and mushrooms in enough oil that they won't stick. When soft and starting to brown, remove and drain on a paper towel.
- In the same skillet
- crumble and brown the sausage until it's no longer pink. Drain on a paper towel.
- Add more oil to the pan. Add sliced potatoes
- salt
- pepper
- paprika
- Italian seasoning
- and onion powder. I sometimes leave the skin on the potatoes and par-cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes. They cook much faster that way. And the starch makes them brown nicely.
- Continue cooking until potatoes are tender and getting brown. Add the crumbled sausage and veggies back to the skillet. Mix well.
- When potatoes are cooked
- sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cover until the cheese is melted.
- Serve with eggs or leave the meat out and serve as a side with whatever meats for dinner. These are good any time of the day. I sometimes scramble eggs and pour them over the top of the potatoes and mix throughout. Then add the cheese and melt. Yum! Add some hot pepper flakes for a bit of a kick.
