Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb sausage Italian or breakfast sausage adds a savory kick that's perfect for this dish.
  • 2 cups diced Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes These creamy potatoes hold up beautifully in the sauce.
  • 1 cup heavy cream The star ingredient, giving the dish its luscious and velvety texture.
  • 1 medium onion Diced for a sweet and aromatic flavor that enhances the overall dish.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced for that rich, robust flavor that pairs perfectly with sausage.
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth Use this to build a deep, comforting flavor without too much salt.
  • 1 tsp dried thyme This herb adds a lovely earthiness that complements the creamy sauce beautifully.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Sauté the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and delicious, about 5-7 minutes. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the same skillet, sautéing until fragrant and soft, approximately 4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the potatoes and thyme, then pour in the chicken broth until the potatoes are partially covered.
  4. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
  5. Add the heavy cream and return the sausage to the skillet; cook until everything is heated through and wonderfully creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
