    Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.

    In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 6
