My family loves these for breakfast. So tasty, yet simple. I make these for dinner as well.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

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.

How To Make cassie's italian home fries

  • Saute the peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms.
    1
    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.
  • Brown sausage in a skillet.
    2
    In the same skillet, crumble and brown the sausage until it's no longer pink. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Sliced potatoes and seasonings added to a skillet.
    3
    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.
  • Adding sausage and veggies back to the pan while the potatoes cook.
    4
    Continue cooking until potatoes are tender and getting brown. Add the crumbled sausage and veggies back to the skillet. Mix well.
  • Cover cooked potatoes with cheese.
    5
    When potatoes are cooked, sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cover until the cheese is melted.
  • Serve Cassie's Italian Home Fries alongside eggs.
    6
    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.
