Sausage in Potato Gravy

"This is a long time family favorite in my house and is one of our 'comfort' foods given to us by a true Cajun. I make this with fresh [raw] sausage from Burton Sausage Co in Burton, TX., you can only get it at the OLD butcher shop on Navasota Rd. Any raw sausage you like would be great in this but it needs to be raw meat for the best results. Always a 'go to ' when pressed for time or don't feel like cooking!  I have never really measured the items in this recipe- When asked how much? I always say 'enough'. After many requests I decided to try to get it down on paper! So here goes!"

directions

  • Use raw link sausage- the kind that is in a casing- usually about 12" long and attached together to make an oval shape. Any type is fine- beef, pork, game, mixed etc.
  • Brown the raw sausage over medium high heat in a little oil to prevent sticking. Watch carefully so it does not burn. Reduce heat if necessary.
  • While sausage is browning slice onions into rings or about 1/4" think. You can dice or chop if you prefer.
  • Also peel and cut potatoes into 1"-2" pieces. The peel can be left on if desired.
  • Cook sausage until brown on both sides. do not worry if about whether it is cooked through. It will continue to cook in the remaining steps.
  • Add sliced onion when browning second side of sausage.
  • When sausage has browned on both sides add water, potatoes, salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium or medium low.
  • Cook until potatoes are tender stirring frequently and adding more water if needed. Cover if desired to retain steam and heat and prevent water from evaporating.
  • The potatoes will thicken the juices and water and make it's own gravy.
  • Taste for seasoning, adding more if desired.

  1. This is also one of my go to recipes for days when I don't really feel like cooking, or anytime. Mushrooms and yam are good in this too.
     
  2. I can't believe how EASY this was! And with only 3 ingredients, really, I had no idea it would be as tasty as it was! DH, little kid, and I all went back for seconds. I "baked" the potatoes in the microwave while the sausage and onions were cooking to save time. Then cut them in big chunks and added them with the water. Cooked for several more minutes to get the gravy going. Loved the gravy that it made, by the way. I used English Cumberland Sausages, and the flavor was just right for us! Will be putting this in my go-to file for a quick and filling meal. Thanks!!
     
  3. Very rustic and wintry style of dish - delicious too !! My sausage used was baby franfurts and I added a handful of diced zucchini for a bit of colour. Made for ZWT6.
     
  4. Totally yummy! I used Kiolbassa brand beef sausage (also a home-grown Texas product) and red potatoes. I also added some Herbes de Provence in addition to the salt and pepper. My hub and I really enjoyed it and the kids LOVED it. Thanks for posting. I'll be making it often.
     
  5. This was pretty good. It's actually the exact same ingredients, we realized after that my mother uses for her potato soup. We couldn't figure out the gravy part of this, but it was really yummy! Thank you for sharing. Made for ZWT.
