Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once done, remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, cut into thin slices or cubes. Season with salt and pepper and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Make the Creamy Sauce

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, basil pesto, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Once the potatoes are cooked, lower the heat and add the cooked sausage back into the skillet. Pour the creamy sauce over the sausage and potatoes, stirring gently to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
