Breakfast and Creamer potatoes?! Here is another recipe (Creamer Potatoes with Sausage and Peppers!) thanks to my brand ambassadorship with The Little Potato Company and an opportunity to win a month's worth of free potatoes!
When it comes to breakfast, I prefer meals with eggs. They are quick and simple, and so versatile. Growing up though, my dad would make us home fries as often as possible because we all LOVED them. Still do! It is actually a tradition at Christmas that we all have a bowl (or two.) My husband fits into our family perfectly because he loves potatoes. Whenever he makes breakfast, he uses potatoes. So, today's breakfast throw-together is for him: Creamer potatoes with sausage and peppers! I feel it is dinner for breakfast instead of the other way around for once!
Breakfast is such an important meal of the day, and I know many tend to slack (including me!) I wanted to create a recipe that was hearty, relatively healthy, and easy to make. I feel this Creamer potatoes with sausage and peppers recipe fits all those categories, and more! If you pre-boil your potatoes the night before, you will definitely save time and work. My dad used to peel and cut up a bunch of potatoes for us and store them in the refrigerator so we could cook up home fries whenever we felt the desire. Just the other day I visited and he whipped up his homemade French fry recipe that was also a staple in our childhood.
Now, while my recipe today is not something my dad would make per say (way too many onions for his liking!) I was inspired by his recipe creations in our childhood. He would basically throw a ton of ingredients together and call the meal "daddy slop." Yup, quite creative and original there, haha. It took every part of me not to mix in a couple of eggs to "complete" this recipe. Thinking back, much of our childhood revolved around potatoes...
Which brings me to another fact from The Little Potato Company!
I used their Terrific Trio (1.5 lb bag) for this recipe and I was thrilled! A mix of red, yellow, and blue potatoes, I thought it was the perfect dish to showcase these beautiful varietals. People are always concerned with carbohydrates, but potatoes are great filler, great tasting, and a great sustainable crop that proves itself time and time again by being easy to grow (on less land, too!) I always say "everything in moderation," but pairing potatoes with hearty and healthy ingredients leaves you no time for concern because they are THAT good! Sausage may not be the best meat choice in the healthy department, but it still has wonderful flavor and is great for breakfast!
📖 Recipe
Breakfast Throw-Together: Creamer Potatoes with Sausage and Peppers
You can pre-boil your potatoes to save some time frying them, but honestly, this recipe works almost like a one-pot meal!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Creamer potatoes, sliced ⅛-inch thick (I used The Little Potato Company's Terrific Trio)
- 375 g sausage of your choosing (spicy, mild, honey garlic, etc.)
- ½ cup water (just enough to cover bottom of frying pan.)
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ tsp. dried thyme
- ½ tsp. paprika
- 1 red pepper, halved and sliced
- 1 green pepper, halved and sliced
- 1 red onions, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 3 tbsp. butter (plus more if necessary.)
Instructions
- Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough water to just cover the bottom of the pan. Add whole sausages and partially-cover with lid, cooking until all the water has evaporated, 8-10 minutes. Flip sausages occasionally to brown all sides. Remove sausage from pan.
- Add oil and fry onions for 3 minutes. Slice sausages into rounds. Add in butter and melt. Stir in potatoes,salt, pepper, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sausage, garlic, and peppers. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until sausage is cooked and potatoes are browned.

You know, I find my most favorite and most popular recipes have to do with Creamer potatoes and breakfast. Seems like there are many potato-loving breakfast people out there! And if they are anything like my husband, they could eat potatoes for breakfast every day! I really need to start creating more vegetarian recipes for myself that revolve around breakfast because I feel so left out!
This is a sponsored post. I was fortunate enough to receive products from The Little Potato Company. Though products were received, all opinions are my own and I would not recommend a product that I did not enjoy.

Kacey,
What a lovely breakfast! I do add eggs to everything, fried eggs, because my spouse has spent way too many deployments eating powdered scrambled eggs for me to ever deny him a fresh one. And a fried egg would be an excellent topper to this skillet.
Thanks!
Kacey
Kirsten, that is so awesome how you incorporate eggs into everything. It probably means a lot to your husband. I am totally adding a friend egg next time!

One of our favorite breakfasts is smashed cheese potatoes. I use leftover cooked Little Potatoes and just squash them a bit and then fry them in some coconut oil with sliced onions until browned and then melt cheddar over them. We usually eat them with scrambled eggs.

I love potatoes with breakfast, but also insist on everything being homemade. Because of this, there was a period of about two months where I was obsessed with hash browns and would hand make my own every morning with a cheese grater. Took extra time but was soooo worth it!
