Potatoes and Green Beans with Sausage:

The Ingredients and Their Role

  1. Potatoes
  • Serve as the hearty base of the dish.
  • Use Yukon Gold for a buttery texture, red potatoes for firmness, or russets for fluffiness.
  • Rich in potassium and fiber, they provide essential energy.
  1. Green Beans
  • Bring a fresh, crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with the softness of the potatoes.
  • Loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, they add a nutritious element.
  1. Sausage
  • Offers a smoky, savory depth that ties the dish together.
  • Opt for smoked sausage, kielbasa, or Italian sausage depending on your flavor preference.
  1. Onion and Garlic
  • These aromatics enhance the flavor profile, adding sweetness and warmth.
  1. Seasonings
  • Paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper are the basics, but you can elevate the dish with Cajun seasoning or Italian herbs.
  1. Olive Oil or Butter
  • Helps in sautéing and adds richness to the dish.
