This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Simply Potatoes. All opinions are 100% mine.
As much as I love to cook, I am not a fan of spending a lot of time in the kitchen most evenings. My afternoons are busy and more often than not, I find myself rushing to make dinner before someone in the family has to leave again for some kind of practice.
So when I can find easy meals that not only satisfy the whole family, but use real, basic ingredients, I’m thrilled. And my family is thrilled. It’s the ultimate situation for a busy mom like me.
This past week, I picked up some Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, and along with a few simple ingredients I already had at home, created a filling and tasty meal that the whole family loved.
Simply Potatoes is a line of refrigerated, prepared potatoes made by the Crystal Farms Company. Crystal Farms is also known for great-tasting, high-quality cheese, eggs, butter and English muffins found in the dairy section. Simply Potatoes products are:
- Fresh, never frozen and made with real ingredients
- Located in the refrigerated dairy section (I found mine next to the meats)
- Easy to prepare and have on hand for quick and easy meals (like one-pot skillets and casseroles) – no peeling, dicing or shredding required
Sausage and Potato Skillet
Ingredients:
- 1 bag Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes
- 1/2 pound ground sausage
- 1 green bell pepper or 2-3 small peppers, diced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
- Heat oil in large skillet. Saute peppers and onion for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic for the last minute or so. Remove sauteed vegetables from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add ground sausage and cook, stirring, until almost cooked through. Add Simply Potatoes diced potatoes and stir. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir every few minutes until the potatoes and sausage are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add peppers and onion mixture back to the skillet and stir til combined.
- Enjoy!
Because the potatoes were already seasoned and sausage is a well-seasoned meat, I didn’t even have to add any seasoning or salt. We all remarked that the potatoes and sausage would also go together perfectly in a breakfast dish, so I think that’s what we’ll be doing next.

I would use them to make sides for lots of meat dishes. I love potatoes just about any way you can cook them.

This would save me so much time when I make my favorite potato recipe; it would eliminate the need to par boil them and I could go immediately to the next step (pan frying with olive oil and seasoning).

Home fries are very popular in our house, and the pre-cut and pre-seasoned varieties from Simply Potatoes would be a time saver.

I use Simply Potatoes in Clam Chowder and Vegetable Soup. Makes it much easier that way.

Sorry if this is a duplicate – my computer went a little nuts…..We make a lot of soups, and it would be GREAT to not have to do the peeling required for the ones with the potato chunks. Simply Potatoes sound great!
