Ingredient Notes

For this recipe, you’ll need 1 cup of diced potatoes, which can be swapped with sweet potatoes for a healthier twist. The 2 tablespoons of butter adds richness, but olive oil works too. Use 1 pound of your favorite sausages, such as pork or plant-based. Finally, 1/2 cup of chopped spinach adds color and nutrients but can be replaced with kale or any leafy green you prefer.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add the sausages to the skillet, breaking them into bite-sized pieces as they cook for another 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  2. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving hot.

Things I’ve Learned

I’ve learned that the key to a successful stir-fry is to prep all your ingredients beforehand. This ensures everything cooks evenly and reduces the risk of overcooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. For make-ahead prep, you can cook the potatoes and sausages in advance and quickly finish with the spinach in the morning.
