So from the photo, this dinner may not look like the most balanced meal, but I am and always will be a meat-and-potatoes kind of girl. Although I wouldn't necessarily say that this is my dad's favorite meal, this is his comfort food and if he was left to make dinner, this is likely what he'd make. Maybe even minus the bell peppers -- just onions, potatoes and sausage. No complaints there!

I would hardly call this a recipe, but when I had left it up to Dave to pick up a few ingredients for another dinner, and then he got held up on a call at work, I looked to our empty fridge and considered what I could make. I resorted to quickly defrosting some frozen sausage and adding it to roasted potatoes, onions and bell pepper strips. We serve with about 4 different mustards.

Sausage with Bell Peppers, Onions & Potatoes

3/4 lb baby potatoes, halved
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
3-4 links of sausage, sliced
fresh parsley, chopped

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook until almost-tender, then drain.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil and add the onion and bell pepper. Cook for several minutes, then add the potatoes. Cook for 7 minutes, then add the sausage and cook until the sausage and potatoes are browned. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with a bit of fresh parsley.

Serve with various mustards.

Results: Quick and easy comfort food and if cooked properly, the potatoes are fluffy inside and crispy on the outside.
